William Chapman ‘18 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

As a pole vaulter at Atlee High School with a GPA of 3.3, my goal is to beat Lawrence Johnson's VA high school record of 17' 6" and to place 1st at Reno Pole Vault Summit in 2018 of my senior year.  As a college student and athlete,  my goal is to compete as one of the top NCAA competitors and represent the USA at the Tokyo Olympic Trials in 2020.  

I am currently a part of the Aim High Pole Vault Club, where we work on gymnastics, indoor pole vault drills and skills multiple days of the week.  While at AHPVC, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to practice with Sam Kendricks (Bronze Medalist, Summer Olympics 2016) and receive his feedback.  

I am focused, motivated and driven not only in track but in daily life.  As a participant and volunteer within the Tony Robbins community I serve in a youth leadership role for my peers.  I continue to study personal growth and work with a Master Trainer and High Performance Coach where I am challenged to be my ultimate best and meet my goals.
