Thorlief Prior '22 Recruiting Profile

My early experience with a very successful, high-level swim club in Switzerland, the  same type of experience with a Swiss water polo club and the Swiss Junior National water polo team, as well as my high school swim team experience in Switzerland and Luxembourg has prepared me well to be a welcome addition to any team and perform at the collegiate level.  I am passionate about competing and being part of a team, and bring my joy for the sport to both practices, meets, and games. I understand how important training and hard work are to success and have seen it pay off.

I want to bring my water polo game and swim meet performance up to the next level and be a part of a motivated college program. I enjoy being coached and am excited at the prospect of finding the kind of mentors and inspiring coaches I have been lucky enough to have had in the past 10 years.

I am hopeful that my European athletic experiences in Poland, Switzerland, Belgium, and Luxembourg will prove to be an asset  as I endeavour to be a part of a team I can be proud of and contribute to for the next 4 years.

In my academics, I enjoy math and understand that hard-work is as necessary in this area as in my sports life.
