Gabriella Marinelli '16 Recruiting Profile

 In college I hope to do well in my academics as well as swimming. I know that trying to juggle academics and swimming may be challenging but I believe I can do it if I really try. I bring a very positive energy to the pool deck, during practice I work hard while I also have fun and encourage my team mates. During meets I cheer on my team mates and I bring everything I have to each of my individual events. I really enjoy swimming relays because you and your team mates can work together to accomplish something great. I believe something that makes me different from other recruits is that I really like to make sure I have some sort of relationship with each swimmer on the team. I don't think that practices and meets are very fun and "Team" like if you are not friends with everyone on your team. I'm very excited to get the experience to swim in college and I look forward to making memories.
