Will Angus '23 Recruiting Profile

My name is Will Angus. My goal is to obtain a quality college education while using my experience with swimming as a vehicle to obtain my goal. Currently I am a junior at Grafton High School in Grafton, West Virginia, where I reside with my family. I began swimming at 9 years old, on an outdoor summer league team. I started swimming for my high school as a freshman. Directly after my freshman year, I began swimming for a year round club team in Morgantown, West Virginia.

With the club team in Morgantown I have the privilege of swimming in a world class facility and being coached by swimmers involved with the WVU swim program. In order for swimming to not interfere with my school work I maintain a rigid practice schedule.

I leave Grafton at 4:30am to be at practice in Morgantown from 5-6:30am twice a week. After practice I come home, go to school, then drive 40 minutes in the opposite direction from Morgantown to swim at Alderson Broaddus University for high school practice from 7-9pm. I strive to stay in the water as much as possible. My minimum goal is 8 practices per week.

Currently the events that I am focusing on are the 100 backstroke, the 200 freestyle, and 200 IM. I hold my high school’s records in the 100 back, 200 free, 500 free, 200 IM, 100 fly, 100 free, 200 medley relay and the 200 freestyle relay. My sophomore year I placed 9th at the West Virginia state high school swim meet. I am looking forward to the state swim meet this year, as my times have improved from last year greatly.

Education is very important to me, I am an honor roll student with a 3.8 GPA, all while taking college prep and honors courses. I am also involved in 4-h, as well as coaching community youth league swim. I am looking for schools where I can obtain a quality education, as well as further my career as a swimmer. I look forward to interacting with perspective teams and universities.
