Matthew McManus '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello my name is Matthew McManus and I am a swimmer on Saint Anthony’s Varsity Swim Team and Team Suffolk Swim Club based out of Dix Hills, New York. I began swimming when I was 8 years old and have been in love with the sport ever since. I live in South Huntington, New York and attend Saint Anthony’s High School and am currently in my junior year. I was on my public high school’s varsity team, Walt Whitman, in 8th grade and I have been on the Saint Anthony’s Varsity team since freshman year. I am 6’1, 175 lbs. I qualified for the State Championships in both my freshman and sophomore years. I was an All American Automatic in both the 200 and 400 free relays in 2020 as a freshman, as well as state champion in those events. 

My averages from the past 4 years add up to approximately a 3.95 and my grades hover from high B’s to high A’s.

From when I began swimming way back in 2013, I have never stopped and always worked extremely hard and persevere through tough points in my career. I always push my peers to train as hard as they can and make my coaches have the easiest time coaching me. This past year, I placed 3rd in the 50 and 100 freestyle at the CHSAA City Championships for varsity. I qualified for the state championships in both, however the meet was cancelled due to Covid-19. I received MVP for the Saint Anthony's Varsity team this past year for my performance and sportsmanship as voted on by other coaches in the league. I also qualified for Northern Speedo Sectionals in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 100 backstroke, 100 butterfly, 200 butterfly, 200 IM and 400 IM.

I intend on majoring on either sports medicine or physical therapy.
