My name is Kiersten Whitmore and I am a Senior at Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado – graduating in 2020. I was born in Springfield, MO and started my swimming career in the year-round YMCA league in Hamilton, OH at the age of 8. I moved to Colorado in 2011 and worked on my strokes and times, eventually earning placement on a Colorado USA swim league team. I continued to strengthen my skills on a couple of area USA teams. I continue to work on my club and high school group placements to push my abilities to the next level.
How am I different than any other swimmer? I was ‘that’ swimmer in year-round meets who placed last in a race or near it, from the time I was 8 until 12 years old. All of the years of sticking to it paid off when I started to grow and my hard work started to pay off. I always stayed dedicated to the sport.
I am also ‘that’ swimmer with a lot of potential – having not started club weight programs yet or double swim practices. I am dedicated to my sport and eager to work harder and longer to reach that next level of swimming.
I am a swimmer who is focused on my academics, extracurricular activities, and volunteer work. I am particularly proud of my selection to participate in the 2017-2019 Douglas County Leadership Program. I am that well-rounded swimmer that you are looking for to compete in your program.
