Amelia Hofmeister '21 Recruiting Profile

Hi, my name is Amelia Martha Hofmeister.  Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and to look at my stats. I will try to keep my times current as my Junior year season progresses.  I can literally say that my swimming career started early in my life. My Dad was a swimmer so he thought it was important to teach me at an early age because we have an inground pool in our backyard.  He was teaching me to swim before I knew how to walk.  As I was growing up I immediately fell in love with swimming and water sports. I started organized swim when I was 6 years old through our local club Mid-Michigan Aquatics (MMA) and continue to attend during my off season.  I also play water polo for my High School team and have played on Varsity (and lettered) my Freshman and Sophomore year. My Junior year of Water Polo starts in April. I have found that Water Polo provides great cross training and strength training. My first love is Swim and it has been a dream to extend my swimming career into college. Quite frankly I would be lost without swimming and being part of a team. I try to work on all four strokes and enjoy doing the Individual Medley but my main events are Freestyle sprints (50 and 100 yard shortcourse) and the 100 Yard (sc) Butterfly. I really started concentrating on the Butterfly my Sophomore year and have made great improvements on my stroke and of course my time.  My Junior year season of swim is almost complete. I placed 5th in our district in the 100 Fly with a time of 1:05.54 and 5th in the 50 Free with a time of :26.46. I was also on 2 Relays that placed 1st and qualified for Divison A1 states.  My 50 split on the 200 Free Relay was :26.15 and my 100 split on the 400 free relay was :57.37. The state meet will be in Holland Michigan on November 22nd and 23rd. I'm very excited to be at my first state meet.  During our team banquet I recieved All Conference Honorable mention. I am now swimming with my club (MMA) and will update event times as needed. Thanks for reading my profile
