Tichatonga Makaya '24 Recruiting Profile

As a dedicated student-athlete from Zimbabwe, my collegiate goals are to grow both academically and athletically while contributing meaningfully to my team’s success. I am currently majoring in Accounting.

What makes me a strong candidate for a team is my work ethic, resilience, and leadership. Coming from a different part of the world, I’ve learned to adapt, stay disciplined, and embrace challenges head-on. I bring not only international experience but also a deep passion for improvement, pushing myself in and out of the pool every day.

What sets me apart from other recruits is my balanced focus on academics, athletics, and personal development. I’ve represented my country on the international stage, maintained strong academic performance, and still made time to support others on and off the team. I strive to lead by example and bring a positive, team-first attitude wherever I go.
