Victoria Corcoran '22 Recruiting Profile

Swimming has been a major part of my life for since I was young. Days started with early morning swims and finished with after school practices. A place to lose myself in the meditative state brought on while concentrating on a long set. I’ve learned how hard work over a period of time ends in achieving goals that I might not have thought possible. I have a growing interest in distance events, ever since I swam the 500 for the first time at the beginning of my freshman year. I find this event, that is daunting to most others, to be my favorite and most enjoyable. I love the strategy, both before and during the longer races. I am able to negatively split the majority of my races, which gives me a competitive edge and makes for a race that my teammates always seem to remember. I am particularly known for being a back-half swimmer, allowing me to pull ahead at the end to win. This also translates to me being a good anchor in a relay team.

Not only am I looking for a school that is a good fit for me in swimming, but most importantly, one that will continue challenging me academically. I have been a very focused student throughout all of middle school and my years in high school. I plan to continue this trend into college.  I am also looking for a campus, community,  and social environment that best fits me and will help me to develop to my full potential.
