Courtney Buhl '17 Recruiting Profile

I have found a love for this sport in my 11 years of swimming that I did not think was possible. Waking up at 5 am to hop in a pool, practices 6 days a week, 8 hour swim meets that take up my whole weekend, and the crazy sets my coaches give me truly define the love swimming holds. I cannot imagine letting it go, especially since it has made me into the person I am today. I have strengthened valuable time management skills with swimming and school and I am a team player who will always be at the other end of the pool cheering on a teammate. From changing teams after 8 years on one team, I truly realized how much of an impact swimming made on me.  My new team showed me that there really is no "I" in team and that no matter what we go through, we can come back stronger than before. This mindset is shown not only in the pool, but in the classroom as I hold a 4.3 GPA and I plan to continue to put this full effort into what I experience at college. My goal is to continue my love for the sport at your program!
