Autumn Knight '17 Recruiting Profile

I put my best effort towards everything I do, not just to succeed but to better myself as a person. I like to think of myself as humble but also highly competitive. Last season as a 14 year old freshman I qualified and took 5th in discus at state. I hope to place in at least the top three this year and break the school record. I placed 11th in shot at state the same year. My goal for this year in shot is to successfully switch over to spinning rather than glide. My GPA has always been 3.5 or better throughout middle school and high school. I take advanced courses in math and science. I ranked in the top 1% in my school and the top 2% of the nation on my ACT EXPLORE state exam. I also participate in FBLA, art club, and marching band.  I'm not sure about my major at this point but have interest in the medical field. I also participate in Basketball and I weight-train every week-day morning. If I'm not in a sport, I'm training with either crossfit or weight-lifting or both during the summer. I take every practice, and every competition as an opportunity to grow. One of my worst flaws is I can become frustrated when things out of my control affect my ability to do something. I don't know what I would do without sports, honestly.
