Alena Sharp '22 Recruiting Profile

As a student-athlete, I hold myself to a high standard. I am always making new goals for myself in both my academics and my athletics. As a swimmer, I hold myself accountable for my times, my ranking, and above all the representation of my team. When I am on the pool deck it is not only my job to represent my best self and support my teammates, but also represent my team by being respectful to other swimmers, coaches, timers, and officials. Swimming is not all stress and practicing I have come to learn over the years it is also building a community, making new friends, and enjoying the time in the pool with others. As a student, I listen and take in all of the information I can get. I study hard, just like how I train so that I can get the best results. And if I  don't understand I take a break, go swim it off, and come back ready to try again.
