Graydon Mannion '22 Recruiting Profile

I started swimming my Freshman Year so I haven't had the same time to develop as some of my peers, but my coaches see my potential and expect me to be swimming a 47.5 (100 Free), 21.5 (50 Free), 1:46 (200 Free) and 53.0 (100 Fly) by the end of my Junior year.  My goals are to hit Junior National times before I graduate from high school.  At present, I am focusing on keeping my GPA high and preparing for my ACT and SAT exams later this year.  I would like to visit some schools by Spring/Summer 2021 so I can start to think about the type of college I would like to attend after high school.  

As a person, I am pretty easy-going.  I'm competitive, but hide my emotions a lot.  Most people would describe me as funny and laid back.  My dad swam in college for a Division-I school and has been a big part of my support system as a swimmer.  He didn't pressure me to start swimming and wanted it to be my decision.  I appreciate his support and hope to make him proud in the coming years.
