In college, the thing of utmost importance is both education and competing at the highest level possible. This far in my high school career, I have been working towards being able to obtain my short term goals. These consist of: maintaining physical stamina (during offseason) and keeping track of my mentality going into both school and the swimming pool. My passion for swimming has not changed in the 15 years I've been in the sport. Take chances, take risks, work hard and everything you've been working toward will pay off.
