Personal Statement
My name is Blakely Fraasch and I play goalkeeper with the St. Croix Academy Ajax U17 Premier/MRL Premier team, and also for Prior Lake High School in MInnesota. I have also been highly involved in the Minnesota ODP Program for the last 5 years, and was selected as a member of the 1996 ODP Team representing Minnesota at the USYS Region II Camp in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and also competed in the USYS Region II Championships in 2012, going to the Championship Final. I am a Board Scholar and All-Academic rated athlete at my high school, currently maintaining a 3.9 GPA, and in the top 12% of my class of 611 students.
I would like to take my love of soccer into college as it has been my goal for as long as I can remember. I am looking for a strong academic school, and as I am flexible, the size and location of my future school are not huge factor. Most importantly, I am looking for a school that feels right when I visit, and that has a womens soccer program where I can make an immediate impact. I have been challenging myself and working hard academically to provide me the best range of college options, and my hope is to find a fit for myself at the highest level possible with an aggressive, competitive soccer program, that fits my academic needs as well. I have set both high academic and athletic goals for myself and I am looking for a college that can help me reach those goals
