- 2011-12 Highlights
Personal Statement
My name is Wesley McGovern. I am a 6'2", 185lb., 16 year old. I have been swimming for 10 years, but have become serious about it in the last 7. I am a mid-distance swimmer. My best events are the 500 fr, 200 bk, and 200 free. My most important accomplishments so far: achieved the NCSA Jr. National cut time in my 500Y and 1000Y Free, and 200Y Back; achieved my Jr. National cut in the 400M and 200 M free, and 200 M Back; I have also made the Southeastern Zone Team in the 13-14 age group,and was high points at the Florida Age Group Championships Long Course in July 2012. I attend Newsome High School and have a 3.35 GPA. I recently finished my first High School swim season, finishing with a Senior National time of 4.28.01 in the 500y (collecting 3rd at the state meet and earning automatic All American Status), and 3rd in the 100y Back with a 50.37 (consideration for All American). I am a Life Scout with a goal of becoming an Eagle Scout by December. Some of my other goals are to go to Senior Nationals by my junior year in High School, and have an Olympic Trial cut by my senior year in High School. I want to attend any school that has a good balance of sports and academics. I am still undecided as to what I want to major in so I am still open to any and all options. I hope to excel in college through all means possible.
