Sadie Fazekas '15 Recruiting Profile

Hi.  I'm Sadie.  I'm 16 and have been swimming since I was 9 years old.  I am a competitive swimmer who loves fly and free and hates loosing.  I'm nationally ranked (top ten) in all my best events including 50 fly, 50 free, 100 fly, 100 free, 50 back, 100 back, and relays. (some of which I'm ranked #1 in Canada).  I'm a two-time National Champion and a two-time Eastern National Champion, as well as numerous times as Provincial Champion.  I also held an Eastern Canadian National Record in the 50 fly. At age 13, I made Senior Nationals, and at 14 years old, I competed at the Olympic Trials (qualifying in the 100 back).   I made 'B' finals at World Trials last year.  I've been selected for Swim Ontario - Western Region team at Ontario Summer Games, competed in Scotland at the International Children's games and have been selected for various elite training camps.  I've received awards for "Top 8 Fina Points In Ontario" past 3 years in a row.  I also have numerous club records as well as awards such as "Age-group swimmer of the year", MVP, and "Outstanding Performance" awards.  
Aside from swimming, my academics are very important to me.  I like to maintain a high 80 average in all my classes. I've been in the French Immersion program since kindergarten and I am fluent in French. My best subjects are math and physics, which I wish to pursue a career in.  I have been an honour student all through high school (as well as grade school) and received the Music award at my grade 8 graduation.    Even though I have a very  busy schedule with school and swimming, I still like to give back to the community.  Every Friday for the past 2 years, I've been coaching "Special Olympic" kids swimming.  I am very excited to begin the next chapter of my life attending college and swimming with a team.  I am very driven to succeed at all I do, and I  hope to find a school that can both challenge me and help me achieve my goals.
