Matthew Kamph '15 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement
My name is Matthew Kamph, Class of 2015 at Notre Dame High School in Lawrence, NJ. I am an honors level student, currently carrying a 3.5 GPA. I specialize in the 800m, but carry experience in the 400 and 1600 as well.
My passion – and college sport ambition – is track. Although I have only been running high school track for two seasons, I have set myself from the pack when it comes to training and running. By the end of my junior year, I aim at running 1:54 in the open 800 along with splitting sub 50 in the 4x400.
Every day, I work tirelessly and train to the full extent hoping that I may continue to be one of the best in the area. I strive to earn a degree in Sports Management. I have earned Honor Roll, Honor Roll of Distinction, and have received the Presidential Service award for my service in the community. Running collegiate track would be a dream of mine and whatever school I attend, I promise to give my teammates, coaches, and athletic directors the absolute best every practice and meet.
