Morgan Weldon - G...
2018 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My name is Morgan Weldon, and I want to be on your team! I am currently a Senior at Exeter Union High School, in Exeter California. I hold the starting varsity goalie position on the Varsity Girls Water Polo team; I also swim for the Exeter Union High School's swim team. Last year, I was named Second Team all League in the Central Sequoia League and two years ago I received the award of Co-Defensive player of the year as well as First Team all League.
I have aspired to play college level water polo since I started playing at 12 years old. For 5 years I have been committed to the game. As a goalie, my teammates can always count on me for a cross-pool pass and help in identifying and anticipating plays. I am a very coachable player because I listen and respond well to criticism; I am one of the hardest working and respectful recruits you will find. The game of water polo is something I'm very passionate about, and I'm motivated to keep working and moving forward.
In college, I want to study neurology, and neuroscience; I am also interested in psychology. I currently hold a 4.5 GPA and I’m currently taking one AP class, two dual enrollment classes at my high school, and one dual enrollment class outside of my high school at my local community college. I would like to attend a school where I can grow as a player and as a student. I look forward to being a student athlete at the next level.
Thank you for considering me.
