Zachary Purviance '21 Recruiting Profile

I play numerous sports and aspire to stand out from the other athletes. Although I play several sports, the ones I excel at are cross country and track. I've only had two track meets in my final year of middle school and have already tied a school record for pole vault (9ft 6in) and was 3 seconds off the 800 (800 record is 2:10). At the end of the year I also helped setting the school record for the 4x4. We also beat the Best of the Best record.  As I continue on to high school track I set a new personal record in the 800 and 400.  I ran a 2:09 in the 800, and got my 400 down to the low 50’s.  This however did not satisfy me, and I continued to work for sophomore season.  I ran a 2:05 800, and proceeded to drop my 400 to a 52.  As I get ready for the junior season, you can find me in the weightroom every morning, preparing to go sub 2 in the 800, and 50 flat in the 400.
