Isaiah Melvin '20 Recruiting Profile

   My goals for college are to obtain a college degree in a field of Biology, while competing at a high level in athletics.  I am the best candidate for your Track & Field team because I put the goals of the team before my own, and am willing to give one hundred percent effort while also guiding and encouraging my teammates.  What separates me from all other potential recruits is my ability to adapt quickly to any situation that I am presented with, I'm extremely creative and am a gifted problem solver. Competing in over a dozen states in Track & Field alone and being a five time National Junior Olympian, along with balancing other after school activities and clubs has prepared me for the always busy multitasking life of a student athlete in college. In my five seasons of Track & Field I have had the honor of training under and discussing the sport with multiple Olympians and world record holders such as Roger Kingdom, Kevin Young, and Ashton Eaton. Academically I carry a 4.0 Grade Point Average, and am planning to begin taking college credits in my Junior year of High School.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
