Collin Blochlinger '15 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6' 5", 170 lb, Sr. at Hiland High School in Berlin, Ohio. I am a scholar athlete with a 3.4 GPA and participate in 3 varsity sports: Soccer, Basketball and Track. I am a competitive athlete who tries to be the best and understand the game or event I participate in. This allows me to develop as a player as well as help my teammate. My long term goal is to continue my education in physical therapy and high jump/long jump and/or play basketball at the highest level possible.

I began high jumping my sophomore year and qualified for regionals with a jump of 5'10. My Junior season, after 1 month of jumping I improved by 4 inches and my PR was 6'2. I hope to break the 35 year old school record and qualify and place at state this season. My goals are to be jumping 6'6-6'8+ by my senior year. **UPDATE** My new PR is 6'3" and that ties my school record. I was the 2014 League & District Runner-up & a Regional qualifier. **UPDATE** I became the Regional High Jump Champion & will be competing in the state tournament.  I placed 9th at the State track meet.

I also started long jumping my Sophomore year and my PR was 17' 11". My Junior year I improved by over 2 feet-my new PR was 20' 1". *UPDATE- My new PR was 20'4" & with that jump, I became the 2014 Inter Valley Conference champion. I was the District Runner-up & a Regional qualifier.  I finished 8th at Regionals.

2/15/15 I participated in the Tiffin University Indoor Meet.  I tied for 1st in the High Jump with a jump of 1.93 meters.  I placed 7th in the Long Jump with a jump of 5.86 meters. This will be my only Indoor Meet since Basketball tournaments will start very soon. Outdoor season just began-I jumped 6'4 at our 1st meet and broke the 36 year old school record!

In Basketball, I have been playing Varsity for 3 seasons and we had a record of 60-9. I am a shooting guard with very good 3 point shooting range and my jumping ability allows me to rebound the ball very well. I am currently averaging 11 pts and 5 rebounds per game and our team is ranked in the top 5 in division IV in Ohio.

In my spare time I help coach elementary kids in soccer, basketball and track. I am also active in the youth group at my church.
