conversation with my new coach, Brian Crawford, about possible schools I could swim for in college. He advised me with many great options, but when he mentioned Assumption, I couldn’t take him seriously. I told him that I wasn’t of that caliber of swimming, but he refused.

greatly excited for swim since I wasn’t able to swim the year before. By the end of swim season, I swam a 24.45 personal best for my fifty free, my favorite event. I was super excited and began to realize I could possibly obtain some scholarships for swimming at possibly a D2 college. In the fall and spring I deer hunt and turkey hunt.

out if this would be the best thing for me. In sixth grade I was told I had runners’ knee at that it was common in most runners.
