My name is Austin Meldeau and I am a devoted athlete in and out of the water. I am currently an athlete of the Lincoln-Way Gators Club, along with being a 4-Year Varsity Athlete on the swim team for Lincoln-Way East High School starting my freshman year. Currently I am going into my senior year of high school. I give much of the credit to my teammates and coaches for my athletic ability helping my strive for my goals to perform better for the team. I always see obstacles holding me back as a reason to push harder for my goals and reasons to overcome them. Throughout covid, I see that my times and races do not reflect my abilities as an athlete and my goal Is to prove myself for my last year of high school. I hope to find a perfect college that fits me well and continues to help me be the best student-athlete that I could possibly be.
