Best NHS Swim Team Moment:  My best NHS swim team moment was taking part in the Millikan Relays, getting 1st place in the 6x50 freestyle relay, and 2nd in the 4x50 backstroke relay.  We then celebrated at Buffalo Wild Wings, and ordered loads of food, knowing Coach Alex was paying for all of it!      
How has swimming helped you grow in high school in and out of the pool?:  Swimming has helped me make new friends and bond with old friends.  I also found out I was good at backstroke.      

What do you plan to study in college?:  Engineering / Business
