Alexander (AJ) McClurkin '20 Recruiting Profile

One of my collegiate goals is to major in Exercise Science with the aspiration to become a Physical Therapist.  I have been through physical therapy a couple times and I enjoyed learning about how different exercises help heal and rebuild.   I want to swim on a competitive team where I can be pushed to maximize my potential and be part of something bigger than me.  I am a good candidate for a college swimming team because I have an excellent work ethic and I truly love swimming.  I enjoy working hard and seeing the results.  I also eat well and push myself in the pool and out, by doing strength training in addition to swim practices.  I have positive energy at practices and meets and I am always ready to go to work.  In addition, I am a great goal setter.  I set my goals high and work hard to achieve all of them.  I am also good at managing school work with swimming and strength training.  I do that by completing homework ahead of time and taking a study hall instead of eating in the cafeteria.
