Meghan Walker '22 Recruiting Profile

Track is a passion of mine and I am committed to running track at a competitive level in college.  Workouts and fitness are a way of life for me. Even during my sophomore season when our track season was cancelled, I worked out every day and joined together with other track sprinters to challenge ourselves. The mental and physical discipline through track and workouts is important to me and is a tool for improving my determination, perseverance, and character. 

As I strive to achieve my goals, I focus my life on several major aspects of my life: family, faith, academics, and sports. I want to have a balance in life and balancing my priorities helps keep me on the right path to success in track. Track has given me this passion to push myself and make me a better person. It has helped me to focus on my goals and to stay on the path to success.

Both my parents were college athletes and they taught me that athletics is a way to develop character and integrity. I believe that.  I want to be a part of a college track team to challenge myself and challenge my teammates to do their best, show their best, be their best. I want to give a college track program my best and be a valuable member.

I have a strong work ethic, am very competitive, and am working on improving my mental toughness at all levels. I seek directness from my coaches and teammates. I am very coachable and am eager to take my abilities to the next level each practice and each competition.

Faith is an important part of me being an athlete. It is a ground and a foundation both when times are tough and when they are good. Faith helps me stay strong in myself and to always remember that I am running because I have been blessed with an amazing talent and hard work ethic. Everyone has different gifts and I plan to use my gifts of speed and determination to the best of my abilities.  

Because of my love for athleticism, working out, disciplining my body, and fueling it well, I am interested in pursuing a career in the area of exercise science and athletic training and I know that competing in track in college will help me have success both on and off the track as I pursue a degree and career.
