Emily Carlson '23 Recruiting Profile

To me, the measure of an athlete is not by their best times, but by their character in and out of the pool. In practice, I often lead my lane group, and help the younger kids leave on the right time. I encourage my teammates to do their best, and comfort them when their best isn't always enough. I've grown close to my teammates, and they have become my second family.

As a swimmer, I try my best to beat my past self, instead of my competition. My goal for each season is to better myself; whether that be by dropping time, listening to my coaches more, or by improving my technique. Each day is a chance to become a faster swimmer, and I plan on seeing it as such.

I look forward to being recruited and continuing my academic and athletic pursuits in college.
