Harlyn Nelson '27 Recruiting Profile

As a student, I am driven and on task.   I maintain a 4.0, and I am in several honors and AP courses at the largest high school in West Virginia.  I intend to go to medical school.   As an athlete, I am a competitor and score points for my team.   I am currently training for pole vault, hurdles, learning the blocks and able to compete in multi-events. My track and field career began when I left high level gymnastics and multiple All Around State Championships to participate in school activities, both academic and extracurricular.   A coach from another local school suggested to the high school coach that I needed to pole vault!  I now pole vault and run any sprint, relay or hurdle event that my coach needs me to fill.  My shuttle hurdle team currently holds a school record.   I believe I will get better in all of my events with additional collegiate training.   In my free time, I enjoy lifting and many outdoor activities including skiing, archery, golfing and surfing.  I love to travel with friends and family and look forward to exploring the country during college visits.   Recently I received certification in life saving skills and intend work as a lifeguard during the summer months.     A fun fact about me, is that I was the youngest participant on the first ever America Ninja Warrior Jr. show.
