Tressa Fatula '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Tressa Fatula. I attend Blacklick Valley School District located in Nanty Glo, PA and will  be graduating in 2024. My future plans include going to school to study Interior Design while continuing my hurdling career at the collegiate level.  I am looking for a program that will help me grow both on and off the field.  Growing up playing any sport I could possibly join, I have gained a hard wok ethic, dedication, and  perseverance on and off the track.  

I began hurdling in 10th grade at Blacklick Valley. I first started track to stay in shape for other sports but quickly fell in love with hurdling. Since I had a later start than most people I learned that if I wanted to succeed I would have to put in the extra work. This past season (junior year) I have taken home many many 1st place awards and finished 3rd overall at the PIAA District Track and Field competition. I also compete in the summer under the Mountain Top Track and Field club where I have learned to compete against very high level competition. 

I am very determined in everything I do.  I strive to work hard and push others around me to do the same.  I respect my team and treat them like family.  I also respect my coaches and their input.  I am always open, and looking for suggestions and constructive criticism.  I have approached all my athletic experiences as opportunities for growth and discovery, as well as team success.  I look forward to speaking with you to discuss the possibility of being a part of your team.
