Haley Stainbrook '24 Recruiting Profile

I first tried swimming during an after school program in 7th grade.  The coach encouraged me to continue during a summer program he offered and then invited me to practice with the high school team during my 8th grade year.  I really enjoyed swimming so I also started with a club team the winter of my 8th grade year which was cut short due to Covid. 

I have now completed three years on the high school swim team, swimming varsity and a team captain, and three years on a club team (qualifying for the state championship meet) and have attended camps.  I work extremely hard, trying to make up for the years I have missed in the pool starting later in life then others.   

I also work hard out of the pool, I have a 3.5 grade point average, enrolled in college courses and have completed my CNA certification, and work in a nursing home.

It is important to me to do my best as a student, athlete and employee, while keeping time for myself, friends and family.  Balance, in every aspect of my life is important and I feel I accomplish this well.  Leadership is also important to me.  I am a captain of the high school team, a Link Crew member (mentor incoming freshman) and volunteer at an elementary school when my school has days off.

I am motivated to swim in college at a school that has a strong program in communication disorders to reach my goal of becoming a speech language pathologist.  

I am confident that my times will continue to improve during high school and I will be able to reach my goals.
