Mckenzy Wise ‘22 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement

I will be a senior this year at Liberty Hill High School in Liberty Hill, Texas.  My basketball coach talked me into trying high jump my freshman year.  I started out on JV and was moved up to Varsity right before district.  At district I placed 1st and then moved on to area where I placed 3rd, which qualified me to attend regionals.  Being my first year there the nerves got the best of me and I did not do so well.    Sophomore year season was very short and ended after only two track meets.  This was because everything got canceled due to Covid.  My Junior year season our school moved up to 5A .   Due to this new challenge and because of the down time due to Covid we started the season very slow  but I was able to place 2nd in District.  Then in Area I placed 3rd with 5'5" jump.   I went on to Regionals, but it was plagued with several rain delays, and I ended with a 6th place finish,  no one in my bracket did well...it was frustrating.  I am so excited for my senior year and I plan on ending up at state this year.  I have a big passion for high jump and I love the competition, looking forward to it as always.
