Shay Donovan '26 Recruiting Profile

My name is Shay Donovan, I am currently a student at Stevenson High School, IL, set to graduate in 2026. As a rising junior, I am involved in the Varsity Swimming and Diving team, National Honor Society (NHS), and the Student Athlete Leadership Club. I started swimming at a local YMCA team which started my love for the sport of swimming. My passion for swimming stems from my resilience and competitive nature, traits that have shaped me into a dedicated and responsible person both in and out of the pool. In my free time, I spend time with friends and family, usually residing around getting our favorite foods — boba and tacos. In my collegiate career, I intend to swim on a team that values determination and fostering strong bonds. I look for a team where I can be a contributing member and as well as a part of people's successes.
