Katie Larry '18 Recruiting Profile

I first competed in track & field when I was 6 years old, and I have loved the excitement of track meets ever since. I am a triple jumper, long jumper and hurdler currently attending East Northumberland SS in Ontario, Canada. I hold a 3.7/4.0 GPA, I am in the Top 10 of 240 sophomore students at my school, and on the Honour Roll each semester. As a freshman, I placed 6th at OFSAA and 14th last year as a sophmore. OFSAA is our provincial championships and the largest high school track & field meet in Canada.  It is a huge accomplish to even qualify.  I aim to earn my way there every June.  As a freshman, I was chosen as the Female Athlete of the Year out of all 250 grade 9 and 10 students in our school. My coaches say I was chosen for the variety of sports in which I competed, the leadership and dedication shown on each team, in addition to my success as a track athlete. I'm looking to go to a school where I can get the best opportunities to develop fully as a jumper.  For me, it is extremely important to find a balance between athletics and academics, and I hope to major in Kinesiology/ Exercise Science.
