“My biggest inspiration in my swimming career would be my brother because he was the one who introduced me to the sport.”

What is your personal goal for this season? What do you think is the key to achieve this goal?

“My personal goal for the season is to make my M.I.S.C.A. time for meet qualifying. I think it takes a lot of effort to make this goal especially in a short period of time.”

What are some team goals for this season?

“A team goal for this team is to go undefeated and take conference champions for the season.”

What is a quote that inspires you?

“The quote that best inspires me is ‘Strength is not will, only a phenomenon caused by physical objects.’ That quote best matches the sport because it’s not about how tall or strong you are, but how well your rhythm is.”

What is the best part about swimming or diving?

“The best part about swimming is how much dedication is needed to complete the sport. A normal football player or wrestler could say how hard their practices are yet they have no idea how hard a regular swim practice is. You can kind of rub it a little in their face yet they’ll still doubt you because they have no idea.”
