Amber Finke '20 Recruiting Profile

Swimming is my passion with my favorite events being backstroke and freestyle.  I have participated on my varsity swim team for two years and finished my season at state in the 100 back both years. In those two years I have also earned two MVP awards, All Conference Academic Team and All Conference Honorable Mention.  In addition to my high school team, I swim for a club team where I have competed at the Illinois state meet for five years and have been a finalist for the past three.  This past summer, I qualified for the Futures Meet and finished 11^th in the 200 back.  I am self-motivated in and out of the pool and currently hold a 5.4 GPA with a challenging academic schedule. 

I am looking for a university experience where I can improve in the pool while furthering my academics at a high level.  While I am not sure of my major at this time, my interests lie mainly in the area of math and science with a possible focus on a health related career.  My goal is to swim in a competitive program where I can be a positive addition to a successful team.
