Pierson Reiger '25 Recruiting Profile

I am currently a Junior attending Sunnyslope High School and swim on the Varsity Vikings swim team. My academic goals include: maintaining a high GPA, continuing on the path of Honor and AP classes, getting into a top university, and majoring in pre-med/pre-health or biology to later lead me into the medical world.

I have participated in many sports (softball, cheer, track, volleyball, and soccer) but I have always been intrigued  with the sport of swimming since the age of 5. When my family moved to Phoenix, my mom put me and my little siblings in swim lessons. Ever since the sport has always brought a feeling of sentimentality. I joined the Swim Neptune Swim Club during the August of 2020 and have since seen growth in various ways throughout my life. I have been able to practice time management and prioritizing skills whilst balancing my school work and rigorous practice schedule. I have learned to bring  my hard working and determined personality to practice everyday in order to do my best. And I have found the importance of patience when working towards  your number one goal.

Throughout the years of swimming I have learned that I thrive in a fun, challenging, and competitive environment. I yearn for a team that supports one another and has a drive for success. I believe that my biggest influencers and supporters are my parents. They work hard everyday to give me and my siblings everything we need. They drive me to practice 6 days a week and are always at my meets to cheer me on. 

I am looking for a college that can benefit me academically and athletically. A campus that is welcoming, comfortable and easy to make a second home.
