Why Lehigh?: “My decision to attend Lehigh actually sounds very cliche. Upon visiting the school, I fell in love with the campus and knew the incredible academic reputation that the institute upheld. Then on my recruiting trip, I fell in love with the team and the atmosphere surrounding Lehigh Swimming and Diving. Most importantly, after visiting over a dozen schools, Lehigh was the only school that I could see myself attending. Lehigh just had everything I was looking for in a school and more.”
On the Lehigh Swimming experience: “My experience over the past three years has truly been one of a kind. I have met so many great people, improved in so many different events, and have been apart of a program, which is more like a family, that has so many long standing traditions. Not only has this experience allowed me to swim through college, but it has also opened many doors for me. It has allowed for me to get involved within the Athletics Department which has been extremely rewarding, and has granted me networking possibilities for years to come.”
