Location and connection with team and coach

I am ecstatic to announce my commitment to The University of Puget Sound! I chose UPS because of its excellent combination of academic programs as well as athletic ones. The coaching staff both in and out of the pool are profoundly talented in how they coach. In addition, the swimming roster that I met on my visit to campus was incredibly welcoming and encouraging, which left a lasting impression that convinced me that UPS was the place for me. I am so grateful to the incredibly supportive coaches like Coach Siobhan, Fran, Mark, Caleb, Parks, Hans, Lisa, and Matt who have all unequivocally enabled my journey to the collegiate level. I am grateful for my supportive and kind teammates as well as my competitors in the last 4 years of swimming who have all pushed me to be the best person and athlete that I can be. GO LOGGERS! HACK HACK CHOP CHOP!

I'm so thrilled to announce my decision to continue pursuing both my academic and athletic goals at Whitman! A huge thanks to my coaches, friends, and family that have constantly supported and encouraged me over the years, enabling me to get where I am today. I'm excited to begin the next chapter of my life and dive in to an incredible 4 years at Whitman! Go Blues!

I am thrilled to announce my commitment to swim and further my academic career at Whitman College next year. I want to give a huge thank you to everyone in my life who has made this possible and everyone at Whitman who helped me throughout this process. Whitman College offered everything I was looking for with an amazing balance between academics and athletics. I could not be more excited for the next 4 years. Go Blues!

I chose UPS because I love the PNW and I knew that is where I wanted to be once I visited. I could tell there was a competitive and fun atmosphere and knew I would benefit not only as a swimmer, but also as a student. I know UPS will help me reach my goal of being a Physical Therapist.
