McKenna Schilling '23 Recruiting Profile

My athletic goal for college is to compete in the sport I am passionate about and love. I have a strong work ethic and strive to give my best in sports, academics, and extracurricular activities.  I am always striving to be the best version of myself, along with encouraging others to do the same. I’m an optimistic and positive person, willing to work with anyone, and always see the best in any situation. I am constantly pushing myself to not only reach goals I set for myself but to go beyond them. I consider myself a team player who is always willing to try new things and accept constructive feedback. This allows me to build new skills that I might not have thought I could, something I hope to do in college swimming. 

I desire a strong academic foundation and take my education very seriously.  I believe that the work ethic I put forth in swimming correlates to the work ethic I put towards my education and future.  I have goals of achieving degrees beyond college and would like to go to the graduate level of the field of chose to study in. I have been swimming competitively since the age of nine, and have always had a passion for sports and physical activity. I have also swam for my high school since my freshman year when in the year 2021 I was the Junior captain for my team and in 2022 I will be the Senior captain. With my Senior year in the swim, I hope to inspire others to also push themselves and love swimming the way I do. I am looking to swim at the next level and in a new environment where I can continue to grow as a person and an athlete.
