Benjamin Karn '21 Recruiting Profile

Note to coaches:  I'm a senior this year, but I'm in a 13-year early college program that will include a full year of community college in 2020-2021. 

I'm eligible to join your team in Fall 2021, and will be diving with club (Spartan Diving) all season next year.  Our program states that I will transfer in as an 'enhanced freshman' -- eligible for freshman scholarships even though I'm transferring up to 60hrs of credit.

I feel that my 13yr HS experience benefits your team because I'll have that extra year to train and compete at the club level. That year will give me more time to build muscle and gain reps with advanced dives than the average freshman might have.  You might not see this activity on swimcloud.com, but I plan to remain active next year.  Please contact Mike Wagner at Spartan Diving if you need details.  If you're from the Michigan area, you're probably familiar with Coach Mike. He's awesome.  :)

This year I'm competing as a senior at Holt High School. My class graduates in spring of 2020, but I'll continue with the college work I'm already doing.  I have almost a full year of college credit and that GPA is 3.6.  My HS GPA is a little lower, because my freshman scores were a little soft. Sorry about that.

My default college choice will probably be MSU (diving or not) because it is local and I can commute (saving on room/board costs).  If I'm able to dive at a school for similar cost it would be great!  I welcome any interest from nearby schools similar to Grand Valley or Oakland.
