Margaret Wells '22 Recruiting Profile

I consider myself a versatile swimmer and I enjoy working on all strokes and distances.  My goal is to be part of a college swim team and attend a strong academic university.  I started swimming on a summer league team in 2012 while also playing several other sports.  In 2016 I decided to join a club team and have progressed as a swimmer and leader.  I take pride in my consistent attendance at practice and dryland workouts because this is what allows me to improve. At my 2019 long course summer champs meet I earned the high point award for the 15 and up age group. In February 2020 I was the lead-off swimmer on the 200 free relay team that broke my high school record.

I am in my high school’s Academy for Sciences and Health Professions.  This is a selective and demanding academic program that provides me with unique opportunities to learn about health professions. The program emphasizes math and science courses, but also requires me to learn about specific professions through job shadowing and internships. This has allowed me to learn to balance swimming competitively and the demands of strong academic program. If given the opportunity, I will bring leadership qualities, an upbeat attitude, and competitiveness to a team.
