I have been an active swimmer in my community since age 8 swimming for a community group along with my twin sister, Emma Belke. I had reached divisional times for my age group and last year place fourth in the breaststroke in our high school sectionals. Unfortunately I had a set back this summer after I broke my femur in a car accident. I'm fighting back hard and continue to regain my times. My sister and I swim on our high school team and swam at the varsity since Freshman year. We typically place first or second in our events. I am a fighter and team player always cheering on our team and being supportive of swimmers that even come in last from our team or other teams. I love swimming and competing.
