2019 HighlightsPersonal Statement
When our team won Conference my freshman year, I was really excited to be a part of our team's winning tradition. However, losing Conference my sophomore year made us work harder for sectionals. At sectionals, we qualified for the Illinois High School State Meet, and now I am even more determined to place at this meet my junior year. Over the past year, I have realized that awards aren't given, but they are earned. In my daily training, I enjoy learning about every aspect of the sport of swimming. It has been this way ever since I saw kids diving off the blocks when I was 5 years old.
I've played multiple sports growing up such as baseball, basketball, football, track, soccer, cross-country, and swimming. In high school, I focused on baseball and swimming. Participation in athletics has taught me time management, teamwork, responsibility, a good work ethic, and grit. I'm looking forward to swimming in college, so I can improve on these skills and learn new ones both in and out of the pool.
