Andrew Vibberts '22 Recruiting Profile

My name is Andrew Vibberts (AJ) from Cincinnati, OH.  I am currently a sophomore at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy (CHCA).  I'm am enrolled in honors and vertical traction courses with a cumulative 3.6 GPA. At CHCA I am an Ambassador where I've provided over 60 hours of Community Service and recent volunteering including The Father's House (non-profit), my local YMCA, Hey Cincinnati, CHCA SOS, and City Gospel Mission.  Looking to the future, I am considering studying Actuarial science, Architecture/ Industrial Design/ engineering, or Graphic Design in college. I have high hopes and expectations of myself, and I am willing to put in all the work needed to reach my goals. 

I have been swimming for the Blue Ash YMCA for six years as well as CHCA Varsity Track & Swimming teams for two years.  I currently hold 5 CHCA varsity swimming records and was the 2019 Conference MVP and qualified for the Ohio District Championship in 4 events in both the 2019 & 2020 seasons. This past High School season, I earned 1st Team All-Conference and All-Academic in the Miami Valley Conference (MVC).  My main events are 100 fly 200 fly, 100 back, 200 back. My most valuable traits are my determination and competitive drive. There was one race where nobody thought I could win. when I got up on the block to swim 100 fly and all I thought was that I can do this simply because I want to prove them wrong. I dove off the block and started going harder than I normally would. When I got extremely tired, my body wanted to just stop, but I kept going. Pushing through it and chased the other guys. I out touch the other guy by a tenth of a second and finished the race at first because I didn't let anyone change my mind or tell me otherwise.
