Julia Ward '22 Recruiting Profile

It would be an absolute dream to compete at the collegiate level as swimming has been a major part of my life since I can remember. Competing in an NCAA championship is a goal that comes into the minds of many aspiring athletes as that dream only becomes a reality to the few that are willing to give their all to the sport they love so dearly. I seek a good challenge and achieving that goal would be the highlight of my swimming career. I am a very hard worker and push others around me to also strive for success as anything is possible if you want it enough! 

Swimming at the collegiate level is not the only goal I have in mind as I am putting myself on track to become an officer in one of our branches of the military. I am currently enrolled in my schools AFJROTC program which is a military leadership course that has instilled the morals of a great leader. I try to implement those skills as much as I can both in and out of the pool.  Academically I strive for excellence by taking all honors/AP classes and have earned my schools High Honor Role achievement for the past 3 years.  Being a Student athlete means just that, balancing school and academics. I have always made learning a priority and will continue to do so in college.
