Keegan Lisenby '22 Recruiting Profile

I want to continue my swimming career to the collegiate level because swimming is so much more than a sport to me.  Swimming is very meaningful to me; it has helped me form some of my strongest bonds in life and inspires me to excel both in and outside of the pool.  I think I would be the perfect addition to any college team because of my dedication to the sport.  On a daily basis I strive to be a “student” of my sport.  While I may not always be the fastest swimmer in the pool, I make sure to be the most determined and dedicated swimmer in the pool.  I make sure to work harder than my competition each day so I can achieve my goals.

Swimming has helped me accomplish much in and outside of the pool.  Going to NCSA in Florida in 2018 was a high-level competitive life experience for me.   I received Rookie of the Year for Glacier Peak High School (2019-2020); additionally, receiving during this freshman year the WIAA Team Achievement Academic Award (Team and individual GPA 3.5 or higher).  I ended the first semester for my junior year with a 3.6 GPA.  I have achieved all these awards and so many more personal accomplishments. I have excelled in both the classroom, the pool, and the community. In the classroom I have participated in the past years in the National Honor Society, AP World History, AP U.S. History, various dual-credit classes, and have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.5. My work ethic is clear with being able to manage my academic duties and maintaining a strong swimming career. Additionally, I take on a selfless perspective to my community, acting as a lifeguard at the local 52,000 square-foot natatorium. In reflection, I am determined, I am a hard worker, I have achieved at a high level, I have gone through adversity, all these qualities are what makes me the perfect candidate for your team.
