Haven Ellison '28 Recruiting Profile

I run the 100m and 200m dash. My personal bests are 12.84 in the 100m and 27.45 in the 200m. I’ve been competing in track since 8th grade, which is also when I first started going to state. Since then, I’ve been able to qualify for the state meet every year, and it’s been a big part of my growth as an athlete. In school, I keep a 4.0 GPA and I usually have all A’s and B’s. I take my academics seriously and try to stay consistent with my work even during the track season. Balancing school and sports has taught me how to manage my time and stay disciplined. Athletically, I’ve had to deal with some setbacks that tested me. Last year I had knee surgery on both my left and right knee, which really slowed me down and affected my training and this season. It was frustrating at times because I wasn’t able to compete or train at the level I’m used to. But I stayed focused on recovery and doing everything I could to get back healthy. Even with that setback, I’ve stayed motivated and kept working. Going through rehab has taught me patience and how to push through things when it’s not easy. I’m still working my way back to full strength, and my goal is to keep improving my times and get back to where I know I can be.
