2022 Highlights
2022 SpotlightPersonal Statement
My name is Devin Bakay. I am currently a Junior at Western MI Christian. I had been at Muskegon Catholic for about 8 years. I changed school as WMC started a new program for aspiring pilots. I am currently taking my flight training and will do ground school this next semester. Needless to say, I want to be a pilot when a graduate from college. My mother is a flight attendant and has inspired me in my future career choice.
I have been in the pool since I was 6 months old. I spent many years at YMCA swim classes and was told I was a natural breast stroker. Fortunately for me they never tried to correct my kick. I love long distance swimming, 500 free, 400 IM and 200 fly, although I do swim everything.
COVID really limited my training and swimming since March 2020. At times it has been a struggle to stay in the pool with all of the mandates, closings, shortened seasons and lack of meets. I have been determined and at least we are seeing some normalcy. I have managed to do a few meets and shave times. I have also grown 2 inches in the last 6 months. I am hoping to reach my brothers height of 6'4".
I am a hard worker both in school, swim and my other activities.
