Alexis Dukes '17 Recruiting Profile

In college I plan to make outstanding grades and keep my GPA as high as possible. Being a student athlete I feel that is very important. I feel that school will keep me on top of my game because my father always told me without my education, I'm just running as entertainment. I also want to become faster and stronger while running track in college. I know that my times will go down because of the fact that I will keep pushing to P.R each and every time. I think that is one of the reasons I make a good candidate for someone's college team. I'm not the fastest or the strongest person, but I have that drive and ambition to always keep trying and dominate. I am also a good team player as well. Not only do I push myself, but I push my team members and motivate them that they can do anything if they put their mind to it. When I was a sophomore, there were so many incoming freshman scared and nervous on the team. I made them feel comfortable with me and we all had a good relationship. They knew they could come to me if they had any questions or needed help with their form,etc, and so did the upper classmen who were new to track as well. Overall, I am a very easy going person to be around and very goofy. I never have a problem with any of my coaches that I've ever worked with because I just work well with people, basicly I'm not a handful. My personality brings a sense of fun to any team I'm on because I always try to make the best out of any situation. I KNOW that i am different from other recruits whether it them being faster than me, or me being hardworking and knowing that I'm capable of anything. As I wrap up my personal statement, I hope you take me as a consideration to be on your team, and give me a chance to continue to grow as a student athlete. Thankyou for your time. :)
