Madison Shaffery ‘22 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

To be honest, I initially started my collegiate sports search focusing solely on soccer.  It was not until after my track and field season this past spring that I fell in love with track.  My main event that I feel passionately about is high jump.   To me, this event is my favorite individual event because it all comes down to my performance.  I have control of how well I perform and do not need to rely on anyone else.  It is just me.  I know that all of my hard work and effort in training physically and mentally is evident in my stats.  When I feel dedicated and passionate about something I put all of my effort and focus on attaining my goal.  In this case, my goal is to compete collegiately in track and field especially focusing on the events pertaining to jumps.   Even though track has many individual events, I still believe that we are one team and need to support and encourage everyone to be and do their best.
