Lilly Lewis '23 Recruiting Profile

"All successful people, men, and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose." -Brian Tracey. I live by this quote, my dreams are so big that I have had people tell me that they are just unachievable.  I want to receive a Ph.D. in marine biology, or exotic animal vet practices, or even better, BOTH. On top of that, I also want to play water polo at a D1 college, despite only being in the sport for a year. 

I joined water polo in February 2020, and was very skeptical as to whether or not I would enjoy the sport enough to continue it,  but I was wrong. I fell in love with the sport almost immediately, and it has become a huge passion of mine, along with competitive swimming. I feel as though I would be a great asset to any team. I am very dedicated to my work, and will not give up on a task if I am not satisfied with the outcome. I am very loyal, not only to my friends and family but to my team as well. I am a great team player, a natural leader, and always willing to help those that ask for it because I am a firm believer in the idea that if you ask, you will recieve. 

My main position is utility, secondary position is wing, and my tertiary position is 2M defense . My 50 yard swim time is 30.81, and my 100 yard swim is a 1:07.61. With swim and water polo combined, I practice for approximately 14 hours in the water, and about 6 hours outside of the water each week.
