Myles Pickens '18 Recruiting Profile

I am a 5'll and 170 pounds and my best event is 50 free from Clements High School in Sugar Land, Texas. This will be my second year swimming varsity at Clements High School,  I have a 3.0 GPA out of a 4.0.

I am looking for a college where I can find the right balance between the classroom and pool. I would like to pursue a university with an outstanding academic reputation in the field of computer science. Ideally, my athletic environment would be one where I could make an immediate impact on the team. I believe my best fit would be at Division II, Division III, or NAIA, although I will absolutely consider all higher learning institution opportunities.

I have been swimming since I was twelve years old. Since I first got in the pool, I knew swim was the sport for me and it would allow me to access lifetime opportunities that could change my whole life.

I am always working to improve my skills as well as training to get bigger, faster and stronger, this has allowed me to get 100% healthy and ready to dominate in the pool this year. I am a team leader and try to lead by example while also encouraging my teammates. I am very coachable and strive to be one of the hardest working players and one of the hardest working recruits you’ll find.

In the classroom, I study hard and maintain a an average GPA. Growing up a faithful Christian, I have been taught to give back, that's why I love to Volunteer so I can help out those who are less fortunate in any way possible.

I want to attend a college where I can push myself in the classroom and in the pool. I am open to all options and want to ultimately find the right college match at the highest level of competition possible. I hope to become a great role model to all my peers and make my parents proud.
