Andrew MacGregor '16 Recruiting Profile

I know that I am at my personal best when I am working hard in the pool.  I am able to achieve higher academic success when I am part of a team. Being a true student-athlete during my college career is an important personal goal and I am hoping to find an opportunity to be part of a team at a school with a strong tradition of academic and athletic success.  

I began swimming competitively at an early age and have enjoyed some success through my career.  I am the 2015 MHSAA Division 3 State Champion in both the 100 and 200 freestyle and anchored the 2015 MHSAA Division 3 State Champion 200 Freestyle Relay, setting a new meet record.  Additionally, I anchored the 2015 State Meet Champion 400 Freestyle Relay for my swim club, the EGRA Waves.   I was voted Co-Captain of both my high school water polo and swim teams for the 2015-16 season. I am looking forward to leading my teams by example and supporting all of my teammates in achieving their goals in and out of the pool.  

I maintain a rigorous academic schedule, including several AP and Honors courses, maintaining a 4.4 weighted GPA. I am also a member of the National Honors Society.  I serve on the Youth Advisory Board for the Billy Bear Hug Foundation, a charity supporting children with a variety of health challenges, planning and participating in several fundraising programs.  I work during the summer months as a lifeguard and youth swim coach at Cascade Country Club, a position I find enjoyable, but very challenging.
