Jimmy Neist '24 Recruiting Profile

I started running track during the 7th grade, not knowing what event I'd like or be good at.  After trying all the different track and field events, however, I found that I had a natural talent for hurdles.  After only a couple of tries, I was able to transition from jumping over the barriers to really hurdling  them.  Unfortunately, I was unable to continue improving alongside my coaches during my 8th grade season due to Covid, but I was able to during my Freshman year where I'd go on to overcome a long standing record, running the 110MH hurdles.

It is now my junior year in high school and I'm looking forward to trying to overcome other standing records in the 110MH hurdles as well as the 300m hurdles.
