Henry's Hobbies

Basketball

I started playing basketball when I was in 5th grade, and it quickly became my favorite sport. I've played for three different club teams since, as well as for my middleschool and highschool.

My position has changed throughout the years. I used to be tall for my age, so I played center, but as I got older, my position has become more of a small forward or shooting guard. My strongsuits are defense, spacing, passing, IQ, and I'm a decent three-point shooter.

In my time playing, club teams have won several tournaments, and this past year my highschool team went to the semifinals of states. I am now playing club basketball at USC, which is still very competetive.

Backpacking

I have always loved spending time outdoors, and as I've gotten older, backpacking has become one of my favorite activities. My Love for the outdoors comes from my frequent trips to upstate New York where I would hike and swim with friends and family.

After hiking all the high peaks of the Adirondack Mountains in New York, I started backpacking with camps and programs. In the spring of my Junior year, I went to a semester program in Colorado called High Mountain Institute, where I went on three backpacking trips.

The picture included is from my trip in the canyons of Utah, where we went twice. The other trip was in the snow in Colorado, where we slept in igloos. My dream is to travel the world and hike, especially in Patagonia and the Swiss Alps.
