Davidson St. Jean '17 Recruiting Profile

I am on a journey.  My life started in Haiti and since 2012, I have lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  My ultimate goal is to graduate from college and make a difference.  I am a two-sport athlete with a solid academic profile.  I am fluent in both the French and English languages, as well as speak Spanish.

Being a two-sport athlete has been both a curse and advantage.  I understand and live the value of year-round hard work.  However, as a track athlete competing in a very physical sport like football, injuries can have an effect on performance.  My Junior year was an example of this dilemma.

I had a great track career from 8th grade through my Sophomore year in High School that included school records, along with State and Conference Championships.  I love football, but suffered a hip flexor injury my Junior year and it was a slow recovery, and my outdoor times reflect the results of that injury.  On a positive note, I did manage battle to set the school record in the 60 meters indoor at 7.11.

I am dedicating myself to my Senior year and will run a full indoor season with hopes of breaking the 7.0 barrier. in the 60 meters.  I also hope to stay healthy, with a goal of running a 10.8 in the 100 meters this season.  

I have received interest from several NCAA D1 and D2 schools, as well as some of the top NAIA schools nationally, including a couple National Championship programs.  

I look forward to making a difference as a student/athlete at a school over the next 4 years and appreciate you giving me the opportunity to tell my story.  If you want a student/athlete that will bring it each day and with proper coaching can turn a "diamond in the rough" into a winning sprinter, I am that person.

Thank you,

Davidson St. Jean
