My name is Hope Valent and I have been swimming since I was 8. Ever since I was little I have always thought about swimming in college. Now that the time is here, I could not be more excited to start my recruiting process. I would be a good candidate for your team because I am dedicated to this sport. I show up every day to my practices and drylands eager to be coached and I am ready to work hard. I enjoy the chances I have to be in the water and work to apply the feedback and tips given to me by my coaches. For me, everyday is a chance to get better, faster, and stronger. When it comes to academics, I am very similar. I work hard in and out of school to be the best student I can be and maintain good grades in all of my classes.
