Greer McElroy '21 Recruiting Profile

My name is Greer McElroy and I've been playing tennis and golf for half my life.  I began organized golf when I was 11 and tennis when I was 8.  I also loved and played lacrosse at a young age but had to narrow down my sports.  I am a Senior now and was on the JV Golf team my Freshman year and the Varsity Golf team since my Sophomore year.   I've been on the Varsity Tennis team for four years.  I played 1 Doubles my freshman year and 4 Singles my Sophomore year.  Covid-19 disrupted my Junior season just as we were being seeded.   We are, so far,  scheduled to have a tennis season in Spring 2021.  

I've been told my whole life that I'm a natural leader with compassion and have filled that role many times in my academic life. I've been a member of my school's Leadership program (Student Council) for three years now, where I helped with many team committees such as the school's Homecoming Parade and Festivities.  I also have a passion for voice and singing and have been a member of my school's top performance choir, The Chamber Choir, having been specially selected by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra to perform with them the past two years for their Holiday Concert at Orchestra Hall.  I have often been described as outgoing and confident.  I would also say that I'm always up for a challenge!

I would love to continue playing golf or tennis at the collegiate level while completing my undergraduate program. There are unique benefits to being part of a team, working toward a common goal, pushing yourself to be better and being made better by your fellow teammates and competitors while offering support and encouragement to your teammates. I've learned that I enjoy working toward self-improvement while doing something I love athletically.  I believe that academics paired with a sport contribute to the growth of a well-rounded person.  I hope to be offered the chance to prove myself at the next level.  Thank you for your time!
