Elizabeth Mackowiak '21 Recruiting Profile

Swimming the 500 free and going under the 5 minute mark for the first time as a sophomore is currently the highlight of my high school career. Although, I feel as if I grew more as a freshman student-athlete because I didn't perform the way I trained and ended up missing CIF Finals by a couple places. This experience helped me to adopt a better mental mindset and re-focus my training. It also helped me to realize I wasn't performing to the best of my ability. 

I am fortunate to be on an amazing club and high school team. The latter coming in 3rd place at last year's CIF high school meet. Through both teams, I have learned the value of teamwork and commitment. I have learned so much from my wonderful teammates and excellent coaches. I'm looking for a collegiate program that will be a good fit for me, both academically and athletically. I would love to have the coaches be fully committed to making our team the best we possibly can be. I want to be the teammate that makes an impact in your program.
