Micah Davis '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Micah Davis, I am a 15 year old 9th grader and I am a swimmer for a small highschool team in St. Cloud, MN. I started swimming at the age of 5 for our local club team that was both a YMCA and USA team, St. Cloud Gators. As a high school swimmer, I am a MSHSL Class AA state champ, in the 200 freestyle, and 100 butterfly. Those winning times also earned me All American times in both events. I’ve been awarded MVP on our high school team for both my 8th and 9th grade years. I also hold 3 age group MN state records: one 13-14 record in the 200 free, and two 15-16 records in the 100 fly and 200 fly. I have also posted top 10 times in the nation for my age group multiple times. 

I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside my coaches making sets and working on technical things with my teammates. I have helped write lineups for our meets. With all that being said, I’ve learned a lot from the sport and the people I’ve worked with throughout my swimming career. 

One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that nothing comes easy, but if you are willing to put yourself out there, and are okay with falling down, you can achieve great things. Picking yourself up from falling down is a good skill to have as long as you have what it takes to get back up and try again. I love the sport very much and look forward to continuing with it until God shows me the next chapter of my life. 

Outside the pool, my classroom looks very different from many other students as I am homeschooled. Homeschool education can look different from public or private schools, but the biggest advantage of being homeschooled is being able to study deeper into the subjects that interest me most, helping me to become much more proficient in that area of study as opposed  to doing a shallow dive into a lot of different things. When I am not swimming or working on school I love to spend time outdoors, it is a peaceful place for me to unwind and take a mental break. And of course I love spending time with my family and friends.
