Samir Crosby
Greensburg Central Catholic
Sophomore
Events: 100m, 4×1,4×4, Long Jump, High Jump, & Javelin
How did you first become involved in track and field?
I transferred schools in the middle of 8th grade and thought, “Why not give it a try?”
What is your favorite event to compete in, and why?
The long jump. I love to see the surprise on people’s faces when they see someone my size jump distances, they think shouldn’t be possible.
How do you mentally prepare yourself for a big competition?
If I’m in the blocks or getting ready to jump, I close my eyes, take a few deep breaths, and say a quick prayer.
Who has been your biggest influence or inspiration in Track & Field?
For the long jump, it was a really close friend, Nate Dlugos. He was the track athlete everyone talked about, and being a big competitor myself, he drove me to try and beat his records.
What are your goals this season?
Aim to improve my times and marks from 2023.
One of the most versatile athletes in the boys’ AA field, Samir Crosby aims to make another trip to Shippensburg in 2024. The talented sophomore could potentially medal in running, jumping, and throwing events in 2024. Already one of the best jumpers in the WPIAL, he is aiming for significant achievements: leaps of 22+ feet in the long jump and 6+ feet in the high jump. Having an all-around track and field athlete like Samir gives Greensburg Central Catholic a great chance of winning back-to-back WPIAL team championships.
