Bryce White '16 Recruiting Profile

April 1, 2016:

I have been very blessed to tour many colleges over the past 2.5 years and had so much interest from colleges and coaches. I applied to quite a few schools hoping to have a nice choice and received 14 acceptance letters! I was a little surprised by that! After looking at what all schools offered, the overall campus, financial package and swim team, I have made a decision! I am very excited to select Hamline University in St Paul, Minnesota as my home for the next 4 years!! I will be excited to be part of the Pipers swim team with Coach Ryan!! 

Thank you for your time,  consideration, communication and interest in me. I appreciate your time and thank everyone.

Go Pipers!

My name is Bryce White and I would like to thank you for viewing or visiting my profile on the NCSA Sports website.

I just finished semester 1 and am proud to say I received all A's and 1 B. Swimming is going great and while I am not in any meets right now, I do have a few coming up. I have been trying to finish up a couple college visits so that cuts into to meet schedules on weekends because I do not want to miss school. Below is some basic information. Thanks again for visiting my NCSA site.

 I am female, 5’9 and approx 130 lbs and currently I attend Sun Prairie High School in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin where this year I am a Senior!  My current GPA is 3.77 and I am in the top 15% of my class. My Junior year I received a level 2 Academic Award and in 2014, I received a level 1 Academic Award from my high school for maintaining a high GPA over 3.75. My Junior year I was in an AP bundle class of physics and calculus and as a Senior I am taking 2, AP honor classes as a Senior and will enjoy challenging myself academically.  Extra activities at school, I am involved in Link Crew in high school which is a club that helps in orientation of new students coming to our high school with tours and information and have participated in helping with Kindness Retreats at the Elementary schools.

 In regards to swimming, I club swim year around as well as swim Women's High School Season which began in August with our first meet August 28th.I finished the high school swim season competing in Sectionals and swam the conference meet. I qualified for State in the 200 free relay. Our relay team finished 2nd in our heat and 10th out of 24 overall. I swam 3rd in rotation and my split was a 24.60! 

Recently, I finished my 9 year journey to my 3rd degree black belt a goal which I was very proud of! This was a fun activity that started when I was 8 to help me have more focus and direction and it turned into an amazing journey or 2-3 nights/week through all the belts and then to first, second and then 3rd degree black belt. When time allows, I have volunteered at the city museum when I have been assisting them in setting up displays and categorizing items. This has been fun seeing different parts of history and culture . 

  I am in looking for a college that will appreciate my hard work ethic, focus, leadership, competitiveness and sportsmanship. I will make a strong commitment to a team and coach that commits to me. I enjoy being part of a swim team and enjoy working to be the best student athlete and team member possible. Swimming has been huge part of my life for the last 7 years and I have a strong desire to swim competitively in college. Hard work, dedication and amazing coaching and instructors have helped me improve each day and achieve my goals and continue to challenge me to push my limits.

I am taking a break from karate at this time to work on swimming and getting faster. With my current club, Madison Aquatics Club (MAC), I am getting stronger and working on more technique to get faster.  Last year in November I began swimming with Badger Aquatics (BAC) from Madison. I felt I needed a change to provide more coaching and technique assistance to get better and faster in the water.  

2015 high school season was a great season! Some personal best times and I was proud of the way I finished.  My teammates are great and I enjoy being a part of the team with great friends!  In High School, the last 3 years I swam Varsity and lettered all years. I was a State alternate as a sophomore, a state qualifier as a junior and a conference swimming all 3 years! I have a Coach (Coach Nancy) who pushes me to be my best and challenge’s me each day! I respect my team and teammates and have great circle of friends due to swim! I really enjoy swimming sprints and being part of the 200 and 400 relay teams but also enjoy a variety of swimming other events such as fly or backstroke as well.   

 The last two summers my family has been visiting colleges to get an idea of location and options where I might attend.  This has been a nice chance for me to see many colleges, learn about programs and see where I might fit best!  I appreciate the time and expense my family has spent to give me this opportunity to see so many places. I have interest in Criminal Justice, Women's Studies and or maybe film.

I would be very interested in getting more information on your program and college and hearing from you to see if I might be a good fit for your program.  Please feel free to email or send me information if you'd like. My application process is right around the corner! 

Thank again you for your time visiting and viewing my profile!
