Spawforth

My passion in life is running. I am a versatile cross country and middle distance athlete who wishes to train hard and realise his athletic potential. I am proud of my achievements over the last two years which have established me as the best cross country and middle distance athlete in my State and one of the best in the Country. I enjoy being part of a team and feel I could represent the College with distinction in cross country events and in indoor and outdoor track events from 400m to 1500m. I believe I have more potential to run faster because I train less than my rivals. The reason for this is that I was awarded a Sports Scholarship at my school which requires me to play team sport such as rugby. While I enjoy team sport I now want to devote all my time and effort to running and would like to do this at an American College.

Harry has a good academic record. He achieved some creditable GCSE exams results in nine subjects in 2014 at the end of his sophomore year. He was also awarded an academic prize at the end of year prize giving award ceremony. His strengths lie with Maths and the Sciences and his excellent sense of spatial awareness has given him talent as an artist.

Reference for Harry Spawforth I have coached Harry in middle distance running for the past 5 years since he joined Guildford and Godalming Athletic Club. He competes at 400m through to 1500m on the track in the summer and cross country during the autumn and winter. Harry is a talented athlete who has a positive attitude to training and has made very good progress in his personal best times. He has achieved this progress in his running while playing the team sport of rugby at his school during the Autumn and winter months. He is a team player who gets on well with everyone in his training group. Over the last year he has improved his core strength with gym sessions as part of his weekly training and this had a beneficial impact on his performances on the track last summer. In 2014 Harry became Surrey (State) Champion over 800m, Harry then came 2nd at the Southern athletics championships and followed this up with 3rd place at the England National championships. His progression should continue in the coming year where I expect his 800m and 1500m times to get down to 1m.53s for 800m and 3m 55 for 1500m - 400m time is already superior.

Harry has been identified by UK Athletics as one of the top 150 athletes in the country for his year group and has been invited to attend a course in Sporting Excellence. This should help his athletic development.

My name is Ben Haining and I am Head of Strength and Conditioning and Track and Field Athletics at Reed’s School, Surrey, England. I have led the Elite Athlete Programme at Reed’s School for six years and it consists of over a hundred athletes across all sports played here in Britain. Prior to my role in the school I worked in professional cricket, tennis and Paralympic basketball as an athletic trainer and coach (Great Britain Women’s Basketball team Athens 2004 Paralympics) for ten years.

I also complete consultancy for elite athletes in a range of sports including professional skiing and rugby. I played senior National League Basketball, Rugby and junior England Cricket as an athlete myself here in the UK. I share my background with you only as I hope it relates that I have a good grasp of the characteristics elite performers must display physically and mentally to succeed at the top level of competition.

Harry is one of our top athletes and our finest track and field performer in the last ten years at Reed’s School. He is the type of character who one feels very comfortable writing a reference for as along with his considerable talent for middle distance running and exemplary training attitude in the weight room he crucially has a fantastic set of values and character.

Hard-working, respectful a young man of integrity would be how I would describe him. He has the endurance capability and pure speed to develop into a fine cross country and middle distance track athlete at NCAA collegiate level and importantly the mental strength to cope with the high training and academic demands you will rightly place upon him if he earns the right to attend your institution and become a part of your programme.

I could talk at length about his performances and ability to excel on the track but I think the most important thing to relate is the fact that Harry is one of those athletes who elevates his performances when placed in elite company. He is the best cross country and middle distance athlete for his age in the State of Surrey. He runs his best on the big occasions and it is this special quality that makes me feel confident that you would thoroughly enjoy working with him and that he would be a wonderful addition to your programme.
