Why Yale? “When I stepped on campus, the wide scope of academic fields and facilities immediately caught my interest. I could feel the enthusiasm Coach Henry had for the swim team and the numbers don’t lie. I look forward to being challenged to be the best version of myself in the pool and classroom by my coaches, teammates, and peers.”
