Joe Sommervold '20 Recruiting Profile

Hello- I'm going to start this off by saying that last year I had a concussion and subsequently missed quite a bit of school. This fact should help explain my GPA. I have been a swimmer for twelve years and had the privilege of representing my team and my state at intrastate, interstate, international and All Star meets. Hoping this year will bring great things! 

Recently, however, I have focused my attention on la crosse. I have been playing for two years this spring and am recognizing success and having a blast. I made the Varsity travel team my first season and was JV Defensive Captain.  This year I am playing Varsity and have broadened from D-middy to attack.  I believe the benefit I bring any team- swimming or LAX is that I am a versatile athlete and can fill whatever spot necessary.

 I am not opposed to swimming, but have not been in the water since the short course state meet in Spring 2018.  As soon as I can figure out how to change my profile, it will reflect this change, but in the mean time, I want to make sure that I am upfront with this fact.
