Kaci Bentley '19 Recruiting Profile

     I strive for perfection in everything I do.  This includes swimming, academics, 4-H, and FFA among other interests.  My dream job is to be an animal trainer at a zoo.  I am majoring in psychology.

     I have been swimming competitively since I was 8 years old.  My work ethic has allowed me to greatly improve over the years.  Due to an injury, my junior year was not as good as I wanted it to be, but I recovered and had my best year during my senior year.  I now attend Barton Community College where I received a swimming scholarship.  I think I would make a great addition to any college team because I am a hard worker, a team player, and a good friend.  My view of swimming as a team sport, not just an individual sport, makes me stand out among many swimmers I have met.

    I enjoy distance freestyle events the most.  My best times are:  200 yard freestyle (2:10.21), 200 meter freestyle (2:22.62), 400 meter freestyle (5:02.87, and 500 yard freestyle (5:51.23).  I plan on beating these times before my senior season is over.  I like swimming the 1000 yard freestyle and the 1650 yard freestyle as well, however I have had limited opportunities to do so.
