Personal Statement
I have been competitively swimming since the age of 10 and have loved competition from the beginning. I began on a smaller club team for my first four years and moved to a more competitive club team, St. Croix Swim Club, in the spring of 2011 I thoroughly enjoy the competitive swimming that Minnesota offers. My club coach focuses our practices to improve us for competitions locally, regionally, and nationally. I enjoy the challenging, fast paced work-outs that St. Croix offers. Being around my motivated teammates also helps me to stay positive, and continue to improve. I have competed at Junior Nationals four times and have 9 individual qualifying times and have anchored a successful 200 medley relay, placing 7th and 8th in each year.
I also enjoy many other sports recreationally, biking and jogging are excellent cross training activities during summer season. Another passion of mine is piano, in which I've competed at regional and state competitions.
