Personal Statement
I am in my junior year of high school right now. I have been swimming for eight years now and I really do enjoy the sport. I started on a summer team based at Hood College, and have been swimming with them every summer since I was nine. In the fall of that year (2008) I joined Monocacy Aquatic Club (MAC), and I swam year-round for five years. For club swimming specifically, I grew tremendously because of the amazing coaching there, especially Jeb Beaver, the current head coach of MAC. I decided to stop swimming club when I got to high school so I could focus on school more, and I wanted to grow my high school's swim program because it is very small. I hold over half of my high school swimming records, I just want to do everything I can for my team.
