Crystal Crowell '14 Recruiting Profile

My names Crystal Lynn Crowell I am 17 year old senior at Lawrence High School. Currently (3/10/2014) I am continuing my college search for a college with a strong academic reputation, and for the chance to be a thrower at the next level. Through my four years I have placed at many conference championship meets for shot put and discus. I have had captain ship as a freshman in outdoor track, sophomore indoor and outdoor, and now senior year indoor and hopefully outdoor but that has yet to come. I received the Ray Winship Award as a sophomore that is given to one male and one female athlete that displays the most leadership, dedication, and sportsmanship. As a junior I coached track and field for a local communities recreation program for USATF. Also as a senior I received the prestigious KVAC-All Academic award, and the longevity award. Overall I have put my academics first and my track life second but they have always been priority number one! Having accomplished what I have I think the greatest honor I ever had was when I realizes how important the sport of track was to me as a Junior. I went through some very hard times but made it threw. Knowing what I know now no matter what the day I just feel blessed to be capable to throw the shot put with some of the greatest people in my life.
