Justen Lopez '20 Recruiting Profile

I have been swimming for Long Island Aquatic Club (LIAC) Swim Team since 7^th grade and very interested to continue swimming in college this fall 2020! I definitely want to continue to swim competitively and continue to improve with the goal of assisting the team in dual meets, championships and scoring for the team at NCAAs. I am looking for a medium to large school with excellent academics, (undecided on a major), excellent coaching, team with strong school spirit, team chemistry and a strong work ethic.

I am a total team player, as you can see from my accomplishments on my resume, my top times were achieved during High School swim season. I know I have yet to reach my potential and with the proper coaching and environment, I feel my best is yet to come.

Attached is a copy of my Academic and Sports Resume for your review. My unweighted GPA is 98.0 and my SAT score is 1090, which I am going to retake. I am beginning my Senior Year in High School and captain at my high school swim team and one of the top swimmers at my swim club. I am also at the top academic standing throughout high school at W. Tresper Clarke High School. My favorite events are the 100L Breast (56.59), 200L IM (1:58.11), and 200L Breast (2:06.41).  Please see my top accomplishments below.

2019 NY State High School Championships 3^rd Place, 100 Yard Breaststroke

2018/2019 Top 100y Breaststroker, Section VIII, Nassau County New York

2017 VA Eastern Zone Championship, 3^RD Place, 200 Meter Breaststroke

2017 NY Metropolitan Junior Olympics, 1^st Place, 100 Yard Breaststroke Champion

2017 Junior Lifeguard Regional Championships, 1^st Place Mid-Atlantic Champion

I would love to hear from you as I would like to learn more about your school, team and your coaching philosophy, and if you think that I would be a good fit for your team. You can reach me anytime between email, text or usually after 7:30 pm EST on weekdays or anytime during the weekend.

Yours truly,

Justen J. Lopez
