Chardonei Sutton '17 Recruiting Profile

I am currently a junior at Garner Magnet High School in Garner, NC.  I have been a member of the indoor and outdoor track team for the past two years.  Prior to high school and still currently I have been running track for six years with the Carolina Eagles Track Club located in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Track and Field has become a full time sport for me. Over the years, I have grown fond of the 200 and 400 meter dashes and for the past three years I also compete in triple jump. My times are up to date, my best being 38.2 in triple jump and 25.2 in the 200m until March 31,2015 where I ran a 24.9 (hand time) at Rolesville High School meet.

Being a student athlete I understand the importance of achieving good grades.  With that being said even with my rigorous training schedule I still manage to consistently maintain A/B’s in the classroom and received several Academic Scholarship and Leadership awards for my efforts.  At Garner Magnet High School I currently take several honors courses including English, Civics and Shakespeare.  I currently have a 3.2 GPA and plan on taking the SAT/ACT test in my junior and senior year.  In the meantime to prepare I am actively utilizing SAT test training websites.  My academic strengths are in Science and English, while my weakest is math.  I do have tutors on hand that assist me with understanding when needed.

On a collegiate team, my goal is to be pushed both physically and academically. I am confident i can offer great leadership and be a positive role model towards my teammates. I'd like to be in an environment where competition is high, that way I can measure myself on a greater scale. Ultimately, I hope to prove to my coaches that I am both focused and very serious about the sport.
