Austin McGinnis '18 Recruiting Profile

     I have been associated with track, high jump in particular, since the age of seven.  I started out by just learning the form of the Fosbury Flop. My first time jumping in competition was at the age of eight. As I went thru middle school my competitive level changed with every meet. I started my 7th grade year with big expectations. I went my 7th and 8th grade year getting first place in every meet.
     I'm an athlete that will give nothing less than my absolute best. I put extra hours in the weight room to get bigger, faster, and stronger. I'm a very coachable athlete, if my coach ask me to change what I am doing to my I form I will correct it. If I am told to do workouts I will do as told and I will do extras. 
     I work with the other high jumpers on my team both male and female. I also work with middle school jumpers without being asked to help. I officiate high jump at middle school meets. Everything I do ties into high jump. Whether it's working out or going on a run, I find a way to associate it with high jump.
