Sophia Snyder '23 Recruiting Profile

Hi, My name is  Sophie Snyder and I am a junior at East Jordan High School! Growing up in such a small town has been a real challenge when it comes to academics and athletics, but it has had a huge influence on my academic and athletic career in both positive and negative ways, however; I have and will continue to work hard to be great. My graduating class is roughly 75 kids and my school doesn't have a high school swim team, so I only swim for a USA team. Although small schools such as mine lack options and opportunities for sports, I am so grateful my town has a pool I am able to use, and I am grateful for the opportunity I've had to become a swimmer.  Throughout my swimming career, my family has been one of the biggest influences on who I am as an athlete and a person, especially being that my dad is one of my head coaches. I've been swimming competitively since I was 7, and swimming has challenged me and pushed me, but it has also taught me how to be hardworking, patient, and a good teammate and leader.
