WHY LEHIGH:
I chose Lehigh because of its outstanding academic reputation and the focus on academics and athletics. Bioengineering is hard to find, Lehigh had it, and it's program is very well respected. The athletic program drew me in with the focus they had on putting academics first. I knew that I would have their support with me every step of the way.
ON LEHIGH SWIMMING:
From the very first day of swim practice here at Lehigh, I knew I had chosen the right place. The team was very vocal, and very supportive. This team is very close, and we push each other every day. Our focus is on Patriots from day one, and I have never been at a meet like Patriots. It is an amazing experience.
Rob is a great coach. He is one of the most motivational people I have ever met. He has a love of the sport, which shows every single day on and off the pool deck. He takes time to get to know all of us as swimmers and as individuals. Rob had a huge impact on our team right from the beginning. He is very highly respected, and reminds us every day of what our goals are and how to reach them.
