Madelyn Hoying '16 Recruiting Profile

As an athlete, I am dedicated and constantly looking for a challenge. I can't guarantee that I will be the fastest swimmer on the team right off the bat, but I can promise that I will give my best effort at every minute of every practice. I will do everything I can to improve my times. I love to train, and I love the feeling that comes with knowing you gave your best effort at a practice or race. I know that I have not yet reached my full potential as an athlete, which is why I want to swim for a college with an extremely challenging program. By my senior year, my goal is to make the championship finals at NCAAs in all of my events.

As a student, I enjoy the challenge of learning new things. Science fascinates me, because it's constantly changing, and there's always something new to figure out. I'm not one of the students that studies to memorize the information; I study to learn it. I know that I can handle the workload of being a collegiate athlete. My goal for my education is to get my PhD in biomedical engineering, then go on to specialize in oncology. That way, I can work on creating treatments for cancer.

As a person, teammate, and leader, I am very dedicated, loyal, and honest. My biggest pet peeve is dishonesty, so I will always tell the truth. I am dedicated and loyal to my friends and family; I will do whatever I can to help them out. I stand strong in my values, never letting them waiver; so, I'm not the type of person to get involved in illegal or immoral activities, even when under peer pressure. I make friends easily, so I would quickly fit in with any team.
