This female scholar-athlete was a standout in the pool. This year she finished first in the 100 yard freestyle with a time of 58.29 seconds. She is also a member of the 400 yards freestyle relay that owns the league records set last year. As a key member of the 2022 Girls Swim team, her name will hang on the banner behind me for THS’ first ever Swim CIF Championship. She was a leader inside and outside of the pool. Her accomplishments inside the pool are almost as impressive as her work ethic and course load inside the classroom. This year alone she is enrolled in AP U.S. Govt, AP Physics 2, and AP Calculus with a cumulative weighted GPA well over 4.00.On top of school and swim she was also part of Friday Night Live, a club on campus that builds partnerships for positive and healthy youth development.
