Emily Vipperman '25 Recruiting Profile

  Hello! My name is Emily Vipperman and I am a junior at Sumter High School. I have been running competitively since the eighth grade however have always had a passion for athletics. I have always had a very competitive drive to succeed and become the best I can at my craft. With this being said, I am not afraid to push myself outside of my comfort zone or challenge myself as I am always striving for improvement and growth. I am a very coachable athlete and am not afraid of criticism because I know in order to grow as an athlete and a person, I must understand where I need to improve. My dedication to my craft can be noticed as I am easily willing to put aside the hours and weekends to train and grow as an athlete. I work very well with other people and am not afraid to step up and lead if necessary. As much as I am dedicated to my sport, I am equally dedicated to my education. I maintain a high GPA yearly as well as honor roll. With this, I am very aware of my grades and always put my education before other extracurricular activities. Competing at the collegiate level has always been something I have wanted to do and I believe it is a chance to further push myself and become the best I can, athletically and academically.
