Anna Bednarczyk '14 Recruiting Profile

My name is Anna and I will be graduating from Whitefish Bay High School in 2014. My high school is located in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee, and is the top public high school in the state.  Academically I am a High Honor Roll student as well as a member of the National Honor Society.

When people ask me to describe myself, I typically say I'm creative, hard-working and tenacious. I believe these characteristics have helped me in both my academic and athletic pursuits.

I lead by hard work and example, but I am always looking for ways to improve. My coaches have told me that one of the things they like about me is that when they offer suggestions, I always am able to incorporate their insights into my performance. Sometimes I learn more from what I do wrong, than what I do right.

Currently I have a strong interest in pursuing a career in health sciences. I understand these professions require post-graduate study and thus, plan to pursue graduate school.

As a track and field athlete, my high school and club team have me compete in sprints, relays, middle distance and long jump.  I ran anchor on the 2012 4x800M State finals relay team.  And in 2013, our 4x400M relay team finished second in the State finals. Additionally, I was selected captain for both our indoor and outdoor 2013 teams. I have been blessed with both anaerobic and aerobic capabilities, and I am looking for a track and field program that can bring the best out in me.

Besides track and field I also compete for our high school cross country team.  My coaches and teammates have also selected me as captain, which I will continue to serve during the fall 2013-14 season.

When I am not studying or competing, I enjoy all facets of art. I also enjoy working with children and have some steady babysitting customers, and have done volunteer work at our local playgrounds for the past three summers.

I hope this gives you a good idea about me.  If you have any questions or would like to talk more, please feel free to contact me.

Thank you
