Paige Kern '24 Recruiting Profile

200 LC IM
100 LC Breast Stroke
200 LC FreestylePersonal Statement
My name is Paige Kern, I have been swimming since I was five years old. I live in a rural area where swimming isn't considered a sport by many. My drive is so strong for swimming that it takes 40-45 minutes one way to reach my swim club. I am a very competitive swimmer that is always looking to improve my skills. Due to the lack of competitive swim clubs in my area and school commitments I conferred with a professional trainer to create my own dry-land practice. I wake up every morning at 5:00 AM to complete my 40–50-minute dry-land exercise routine before going to Montgomery Early College. My swim club also does not have weekend swimming, so I go to a local YMCA on the weekends to get in as many hours swimming as I can.
I am a very competitive and dedicated swimmer with the technique and times to succeed at the collegiate level. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the most dedicated and hardest working swimmers recruits you’ll find.
In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a high GPA. I also volunteer at food pantries and am currently a member of our student government as the Vice President.
I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and in the pool. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.
