Madelyn Johnson '16 Recruiting Profile

Hi...my name is Maddie Johnson.  I have been swimming competitively since I was 8 and have loved the sport ever since.  My favorite stroke is the Fly and I love the 200 Fly (my best event).  I also enjoy the 200 and 400 IM's as well as the backstroke.  I am a 4.2 honor roll student and will be taking 5 AP courses this year as a senior.  I want to pursue a career in the field of marine biology and love anything to do with the ocean, conservation and marine life.  I spent a summer in the BVI's on a marine biology expedition and diving certification course which solidified my career choice for me.  I am spending this summer learning to sail a Laser and exploring the "physics of sailing" while emphasizing the importance of cold water safety for my senior project.  I made the Scholastc All American Team for 2013-2014 and again in 2014-2015 with Jr and Sr National winter cuts in the 100/200 Fly.  I am looking forward to this fall and my senior year in high school.  I hope to make an All American cut in the 100 Fly.  I will be attending Jr Nationals in Austin this December.  This past year has strengthened my resolve to excel at both swimming and school and I am looking for D1 school that will help me reach this goal.   I aspire to make the 2016 Olympic Trials cut in the 200 Fly.
