Sasha Karafin '27 Recruiting Profile

I am really thrilled to begin the recruiting process and getting ready and set for the next stages in both my athletic and academic career.

Swimming is a sport in which I have participated in since I was at a young age, and I started both competitively racing and practicing in the sport at the age of 6. Swimming multiple practices a day both before and after school, as well as on weekends has taught me to excel in time management skills and work out schedules. I’ve been setting goals for myself throughout  racing and times to reach in order to extend my potential in the sport. 

I’m addition, school has always been a top priority. I’ve maintained an honors level of education and keep high grades throughout all my classes, particularly math and science. I volunteer at both swim meets and libraries for service hours. 

When I’m not in the water or learning, I bake fairly often and participate in bake sales. During summer break, I participate in a junior lifeguard program hoping to soon gain skills required to proceed through a lifeguarding course.

l am interested in finding a college in which I can push myself to new standards throughout various aspects of academics and athletics.
