Michael Shay '19 Recruiting Profile

Since I started high school, I have averaged over 16 hours of swimming practice per week. I began swimming at nine years old. The water keeps me focused, allowing me to achieve stellar grades in class.  I have a GPA of 4.62, which ranks me at 8th out of 394 students in my school. I plan to carry my academic excellence into college, as I go on to study business and biological science.

I ended last season achieving 2017 Junior Summer Bonus cut and Junior Winter Hard cuts. My goals for this LCM season are to achieve more Junior Summer/Winter Hard cuts and obtain college credits for my current AP classes: Calculus BC, Government, Environmental Science, Chemistry.

Time management, study skills and hard work are the virtues that I apply to both swimming and school. I believe this will make me a prime candidate for a college-level team. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of working with a team of top athletes. I have attended many zone meets and select camps. The fellow swimmers and coaches I’ve worked with provided me with invaluable memories and learning experiences that I have carried forward into all aspects o f my life.

I want to continue my swimming career at the college level. I strive to learn from my coaches so that I can become an asset to my team, and ultimately to my community.

My name is Michael Shay.  I am a Senior in high school. Someday soon, I hope to say that I am a college athlete moving towards my dreams, one lap at a time.

Thank you for your time and sincerely yours,

Michael Shay
