Sydney Freeman, NC State University’s indoor-outdoor Track & Field female Hammer and Weight Throw champion, joins Glenn on the Field for the next installment of the Focused Driven Athlete: Athletic Spotlight. The 2x All-ACC Academic Champion, shares her personal journey growing up as a multi-sport athlete in Raleigh, NC and becoming both a Conference and 4-A State Champion in the shot put event in High School. She also shares why she decided to pursue the field events; disk, shot put, hammer throw, and weight throw, why track and field was not her initial sport of interest, and why she decided to stay at home and commit to the Wolfpack.  Sydney also talks about her recruiting process, overcoming several injuries that plagued her throughout her career, what college coaches are looking for in athletes who compete in field events, and why her focus shifted from shot put and discus to competing in the Hammer Throw.
