Elliott McAlpine '24 Recruiting Profile

Hi! My name is Elliott McAlpine and I am 16 years old. I love to swim, surf, play water polo, and hang out with my friends and family. It has been a lifelong dream to swim at the collegiate level. 

I work extremely hard and always have a positive, encouraging attitude.  I enjoy meeting new people and being on a team. I will always come to practice ready to work and better myself no matter the day I've had. I will also bring an encouraging attitude to push my team. 

As a sophomore I won both of my events at the OK White Conference Championships (Grand Rapids, Michigan), this included the 100 breaststroke and 200 IM. I also received All-Conference and placed in the top 16 in both of my events at D1 States. Achieving these season goals are only steps in my overall journey. 

When I am not swimming for my high school, I swim for the Rapids Area YMCA club team (RAYS). My 2021-22 season ended with a trip to the National Meet in Greensboro, NC - swimming 3 individual events and earning spots on two relays. 

As much as I love to win my own events, nothing compares to the feeling of succeeding as a team. During my recent highschool season, my team placed 3rd in the conference (highest in 15 years) and 10th at D1 States (highest in school history). Nothing beats the feeling of celebrating wins with your best friends. 

I would love to be a part of a team that pushes me to not only better myself, but also my team and school.
