Ashley Casas '26 Recruiting Profile

Before starting track and field I was a gymnast for 11 years. Once I started high school I quit gymnastics because I wasn't enjoying it anymore. I joined my track team in high school and tried some field events and fell in love with high jump. I realized if i worked really hard I have a good chance at fulfilling my dream of competing in college. My freshman year I was 1 place short of making it to States with 1 year of experience in this sport. I was really proud of what I accomplished that year. My sophomore year I moved to North Carolina where I was able to have an Indoor and Outdoor season. My indoor season ended with me being a Nike Indoor Emerging Elite National Champion. While also beating my personal best twice in that meet. My outdoor season I came back strong and tied my PB in my conference championship and became Conference Champion. I will continue to work hard as my last 2 years of high school are approaching and college athletics get closer.
