Savannah Campbell '17 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I was in elementary school, my favorite part of any day was when I would run. I have always been reasonably fast; it only really hit me that track and field was something I was good at in the seventh grade, where I mainly competed against the guys. After that season, during which I was injured, I only became more motivated to become one of the best at what I do- sprints.
I took time to heal properly, and I began training with the competitive track club Supreme Athletics. My coach, Janusz Tomko, suggested I start competing only a couple months after I joined the club, despite my being prepared to take an extra year to train, because he believed I was ready.
Through track I have gained more confidence as an athlete and a person. I set myself a goal: one day, I would like to compete at an international level for my country.
Since then I've continued to train, now completing five days a week with my team, and I could never get bored of it. I am currently working to fine-tune my hurdle skills after a taste of success in the 200mh, and debuted as a 300 and 400 metre hurdler in the 2015 outdoor season. Track is the embodiment of everything I love, and I cannot visualize a future without it.
I plan to compete for a successful university track team. I fully understand that the life of a student athlete is not an easy one, and I aspire to balance my schooling with athletics in my university career. Currently I maintain a 4.0 GPA, and excel in languages, math and sciences.
I enjoy nearly all my classes, and love to learn in general. I consider myself to be a well-rounded individual, with my wide variety of extracurricular activities. I have not decided which specific field of study I would like to pursue at the next level, but I know it will be science related.  Thank you for taking the time to view my profile!
