Personal Statement
I am in the top 20% of my class with a 3.7 GPA. At the 2016 Missouri High School Swimming State Championship, I was fortunate enough to become a double state champion in both the 100 butterfly and 200 IM. In addition, I was a part of two 1st place winning relay teams (200 medley and 400 free relay). I was also very blessed to be named Missouri's Swimmer of the Year winning the State MVP Award. I am among the fastest juniors in Missouri and nationally ranked top-5 in 4 events (per USA Swimming.) Not only am I a dedicated swimmer, I am also very involved in my community. I am President of the Junior class, and in doing so I work over 60+ service hours throughout the course of the year. I give swim lessons for both my club and high school teams, and also help with my church as a youth group leader. I am an enthusiastic team leader and am very passionate about my swimming. I effectively balance school, swimming, and family life daily. My family and I have traveled and camped in all 50 of the United States. My family and I are overly-dedicated to swimming and always make sure there is somewhere for me to swim wherever we travel. I hope to hear from you soon.
