Corbin Lofton '20 Recruiting Profile

Growing up, I enjoyed playing various sports such as baseball, basketball, football, cross-country, and volleyball; however, the sport I like most, the one I have competed in for the last 12 years is swimming.  I not only appreciate the continuous challenge of improving my personal best times, but I also love that it is just me against the clock; I know if I put in the work I get the reward. I have been swimming competitively on a USA Swimming club since 2011.  For the past three years, I am fortunate to have been the captain of my high school Varsity swim team. As such, I have been able to assist my swim coach with our middle school swim team. This has allowed me to share my fun-loving spirit and cheerful attitude, as well as my passion for the sport with younger members of the team; some of which are new to competitive swimming. In school, I find subjects that are logic based most appealing.  Math, biology, and chemistry are my favorite classes and have inspired me to consider a career in science where I aspire to attend medical school and ultimately become a doctor or surgeon. While pursuing my academic interests, I plan to swim collegiately at Division I/II level. I know it will take a lot of work but I cannot imagine a better way to continue doing something I love, make lifelong friends, get a quality education, and contribute to the success of a team.
