2022 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I'm Mason and I've been playing water polo for 4 years now. I play for my high school team and a club team in the summer (Third Coast Aquatics). My high school team isn't always the best when it to numbers and participation, so my freshman year, I had to play as a starter for varsity in which we made it to the state tournament and placed. I would consider myself unique in the fact that I can match a room. What I mean by that is no matter how skillful the players I'm up against are, I will figure out a way to play at that speed and progress quickly. Last summer I started the club team and some graduated seniors came and played against us. Two of them were D1 players, such as Colin McDowell, who were very good at the game. I adapted and was able to play on their level and even score on them some of the time. I am willing to put in the work wherever I go to college.
