Padraic Donnelly '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello, my name is Padraic Donnelly. I am currently a sophomore at Marquette University High School. Swimming has been a big part of my life since I was 7 years old. From the first time swimming with a summer swim team, I knew this was the sport for me. I joined the Shorewood (SHOR) Swim Club after that first summer of competitive swimming, and I can say that the 8 years of experience since then has helped to shape me into the person and athlete I am today. Breaststroke is my specialty stroke, yet I perform well in IM and other events as well. I have qualified for many state level championship swim meets, as well as the 2023 Spring Age Group Nationals in Orlando, FL. Not only do I want to be the best athlete I can be, but I also strive to be a leader on the team, showing support to my teammates on the pool deck. I value my student life just as highly as swimming. I have 3.9 GPA and am a member of the National Honors Society. I plan on maintaining my good grades while continuing to take AP and honors classes in the coming years.
