Kaitlyn Ewald '23 Recruiting Profile

My track career has included only 3 seasons (indoor and outdoor). Outdoor season of my freshman year was cancelled due to Covid, and I was unable to compete my sophomore year due to a compound tibia fracture (skiing). Before the injury, however, I broke the school's freshman long jump record with 16' 4,", placing 3rd at the state meet and earning our high school's award for 'Rookie of the Year'. This past year I concentrated on running events, and in the final month of the season was able to consecutively reduce my 4X400 relay split time from 61.5 to 58.5 to 57.49. With this downward trend of reduced times, my personal goal is to reduce my split time to 56 seconds or below, as well as run an open 400 in under 58 seconds. On July 30th I'm competing in the open 400 at a USATF Championship meet at Regis College in Weston, MA, as well as in the MetroWest Jumps Empire Summer Classic, on August 13th at Weston High School (MA). In college, my interest is to compete in sprint races including the 300, 400, relays, and possibly the open 800.
