My name is Tommi Olson, I am a female, 5 ft. 6 inches, weigh 115 pounds, left handed and am attending 11th grade beginning the Fall of 2016 at Highlands Ranch High School in Highlands Ranch Colorado. I started playing and practicing basketball at the age of 4 with the local traveling 6th grade team. I was this team’s starting point guard at the age of 9, 3rd grade. During my 6th grade year I started point guard for the 8th grade Montana Comets AAU Basketball Club and the 6th and 8th Grade Colorado Basketball Club teams. My teams won numerous tournament titles. I have attended numerous camps each year, such as the University TN camp, University Minnesota camp, NBC camps, Snow Valley camp, and Nike Camps and earned numerous prestigious awards from these camps. During these camps I am routinely moved up to compete in the high school age group. I attended the Point Guard College in the summer of 2012. I was the 2009 Hoop Shoot Free Throw National Champion. I train year round, attending basketball practice, skills training, weight training, cross fit training, plyometrics and seal fit training. In the 2011 and 2012 season I have played 115 games plus. I was also on my school’s cross country team running anywhere from 6 to 14 miles a day in practice. My Freshman year at Highlands Ranch HS I was a varsity starter for all 26 games of the season. I was voted Honorable mention team in the conference which is the toughest conference in the state. I set a school record for most 3 pointers made in a playoff game for my High School (8) while establishing a PR game high of 28.

What I can offer to any team is a player with the drive to be the best I can possibly be. I am a very hard working player, working hard at practice, and giving it my all on and off the court. I am a 3.80 student with honors classes and a student with great academic admirations while serving as a great role model and leader within my community and will continue to do so in the college community I commit to.
