100 Butterfly. Ja...Personal Statement
My goal after high school is to further my education and continue to swim at the college level. I have been swimming since I was five years old and love the sport and competition. Although swimming is mainly an individual sport, I love being a part of a team and supporting and encouraging my teammates. My ideal team is one that will push me to improve as an athlete.
I am very coachable. I take advice and constructive criticism and use it to better myself. I am a hard worker - weightlifting and swimming upwards of 5 hours a day as well as maintaining good grades. I also volunteer annually at a camp for those with disabilities. I also enjoy track and soccer. I won 1st place in the 200 meter dash at the Laurel Highlands Championships and was on the varsity soccer team my freshman year. I was a WestPac All-Star for my sophomore through senior years in soccer and was a PA All-State nominee in 2021.
