I am both athletically and academically driven. I am in the top 5 percent of my class and I am currently taking three AP courses. This is only my 5th year swimming, so I'm still improving at a fast rate. I was one of two of my teammates recognized for "courage, determination, and sportsmanship" by three different coaches, three years in a row. Being from Michigan, we've experienced more COVID-19 restrictions on meets and practices than most states. Our first meet since early March 2020 will be on February 14, 2021. I expect to drop a lot of time at these upcoming meets. To improve my swimming, I lift weights three days a week before school, and I focus on eating healthy food and avoiding junk food. I love the sport of swimming and will do everything I can to swim at the college level at the best school for me.
