Allyson Ricciardi '24 Recruiting Profile

Hi! I am a high school Junior looking to be recruited for Women's Swimming in college. I am a good candidate for any team because I am a natural leader and have a good work ethic.  What makes me different from other athletes is my drive and self-criticism. I set the bar very high for myself and work hard to reach my goals. I am always pushing myself to exceed my standards. I strive for greatness in every area of my life and always want to perform to the best of my ability. Sometimes I don't meet my goals like at the State Championships this year. I wasn't tapered properly and didn't do well, but I didn't let it get me down. I let it motivate me to improve! My aspirations for my Junior year are to go a 22 in 50 freestyle as well as a 49 in 100 freestyle. I would also like to be a state champion in my coming high school years!

Moving away from athletics, I am different than other athletes because of how important my education is to me. Right now, I have a 4.315 GPA and am enrolled in all honors and AP courses. I am currently taking AP World History and AP English- Language and Composition. I am a part of the Nation Junior Honors Society and the Foreign Language Honors Society as well! I was nominated for the class of 2024 assistant principal award and a link leader by my teachers to help incoming freshmen adapt to a new experience!
