Meghan Sambrook '21 Recruiting Profile

I have played competitive sports my entire life.  I started soccer at the age of 5, and transitioned into travel soccer by age 8.  My speed and stamina have made me a successful player, leading to the chance to start playing for my high school team while I was still in 8th grade.  It was during my freshman year of high school that I discovered track and field, and I was able to take my athletic skills and use them on the track.  I have run varsity track every year since, in addition to continuing to  be part of the varsity soccer team.  This year, I joined indoor track, where I really found my niche.  I am constantly working to improve my skills whether it be on the track, the soccer field, or in the classroom.  I have worked hard to balance schoolwork and sports, achieving high honor roll every semester, while continuing to be a well rounded athlete.  My ability to manage a challenging schedule can also be seen in my efforts to maintain many extra curricular activities, even outside of sports.  I feel like this will help me in college, because I have learned how to budget my time between school, sports and community involvement.  I think this is really important because my goal is to be a well rounded person who gives back to my community.
