Cali Essick '22 Recruiting Profile

As a track and field athlete and student, I am incredibly determined and self-driven. I always give 100% in everything I do and never give up until I reach my goals. My love for track started when I was in elementary school and would beat all the boys in running events.  I started competing in the show me state games when I was 10 years old and have been doing that every summer since. When I started junior high, I joined the AAU circuit and have been competing in track events all over the United States. On the high school level, I compete in the 100, 200, and long jump. My freshman year I broke 2 school records in the 100 and Long Jump.  Since a freshman in High School, I have also competed in as many indoor track meets that are available.  This summer was an exciting one for me because I set a PR of 19’ 3” in the Long Jump which ranked me number one in the nation for a time.  I also came in first place in the Long Jump at AAU Nationals in Florida. I am currently training 5 days a week under Coach Ron Boyce with All Sports Speed Factory.

 My future goal is to go to college on a track scholarship and pursue a degree in elementary education to be a PE teacher and high school track coach. Going to the Olympics is a big dream of mine as well. I am trusting God with my future and know he has big plans for my life. I feel like I would be a great asset to any college track program. Not only do I work hard on keeping myself motivated but I also enjoy motivating and helping others achieve their goals. Being a part of my track club has fostered that in me. I am looking forward to making a connection with an amazing college, team, and coaches.
