Justin Brooks '24 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6’2”, 175 lb. sprinter from Auburn (Seattle Area) Washington.  I have been on the varsity track and field team at Seattle Christian School for only two years and earned 1^st Team All-League (Nisqually) for the 300m Hurdles in 2022 and 2^nd team All-League in the 400m, 200m.  I went to 1A WA State Track and Field meet in both 2022 and 2023 and placed 4^th in the 300M Hurdles (2022) and 5^th in the 200m (2023). I received the Distinguished Christian High School Student award for athletics (ACSI) 2023.  I broke the Seattle Christian School Record in the 400m with a time of 49.96. I have been presented with Best All Around for SCS Track and Field in both 2022 and 2023. I have a 3.32 GPA.   While running for Auburn Elite Track Club, I ran in the USATF Association meet, the Regional Meet and qualified for the USATF Youth Junior Olympic National Championship meet in Eugene, OR where I placed 30th overall out of 87 runners. I am looking for a school where I can find the right balance between the classroom and the field. I would also like to pursue a university with an outstanding academic reputation.  I would like to be at a larger school with a great college town atmosphere.  I am interested in schools on the West Coast but would be open to all opportunities, and just hope to find a college/university that fits me best. If I can receive a good education and run track, I will be happy. I play Varsity Basketball (Seattle Christian School) and Varsity Football (Thomas Jefferson Raiders in Federal Way Washington); however, I am a very resolute, committed track athlete.   What I can promise is to always work hard, never give up and produce results. I have not yet narrowed down my major but am interested in engineering, statistics or a career working with athletes or sports.  My realistic athletic goals are to have a positive impact on the team while continuing to improve my times in the 400m and 200m races and to be an example to those around me.    I am a committed teammate who likes to help build and encourage others to do their best.   I have been the anchor in the 4X400 relay for the past two years.  To make the state meet, the team would have to place 3^rd at the divisional meet.   When I anchored, we were in 6^th place but finished 3^rd both years which helped get more of my teammates to the state meet. Ideally, my athletic environment would be one where I could make an immediate impact on the team.
