Why did you choose your college?
I have had great relationships with the coaching staff and many current players and have known a many of the guys up there for a while with a couple graduating from Jesuit. Additionally, my mom’s family is from Spokane, so we have deep roots up there.
What are you most looking forward to in being a student-athlete in college?
I am looking forward to being a part of a great group of guys on the team and building lifelong friendships up in Spokane. I am also super excited to start the next chapter of my academic life and work toward a degree in Journalism.
Who would you like to honor in helping you on your journey to becoming a college athlete?
Definitely my parents, sister and other family members. They have been my number one supporters my whole life. I would also thank my friends for continuing to push me towards my goals and for keeping me grounded. My coaches, for helping me improve my skills both on the field and off of it, they have helped me become a better person. I would also like to thank my teachers and counselors for helping me on my journey.
About the Contributor
Spencer Carle, Staff Writer
Spencer Carle is a first year writer for the Jesuit Chronicle. As a member of the class of 2022, Spencer decided to take Journalism primarily because of his uncle Neil, who studied journalism at the University of Oregon and is now an anchor on the late night show: SportCenter on ESPN. Spencer has a true passion for sports, especially soccer, and has committed to play collegiate la at the D1 level at Gonzaga University. One of his essential inspirations for sports journalism is watching early morning soccer analysts on NBC and Sky Sports. His first experience with journalism was as a junior taking the Broadcast Journalism class, where he learnt how to commentate live sports, conduct interviews and display videography skills. This year, Spencer hopes to learn the fundamentals of journalism, and primarily focus on covering the school’s Varsity games and pursue stories tied with the sports programs. In addition to writing about sports this year, Spencer would love to write about problems students face at Jesuit, mental health, food and fashion. Outside of the classroom, Spencer is one of the captains for the men’s soccer team, a cook, an avid traveler and loves to spend time with his friends and family. A fun fact about him is that he lived in London and Amsterdam between ages six to ten.
