My name is Vernon Meade, I have always strived to succeed in and outside of school. I have been a straight-A student throughout school maybe with the occasional B. I have been swimming competitively for three years and have made regionals times twice and am a great high school varsity swimmer. I have had support from my parents with whatever choice I made with athletics, but I am a very self-driven person. A great example is my progression through my three years of swimming, I went from not knowing a thing about swimming much less competing to being a varsity swimmer and a high-performing club athlete as well. My vision for college swimming is to be held to and compete at a high level. I love to support teammates and uplift them in any way that I am able to. I love to be challenged and pushed to my limits both academically and athletically.
