I also want to thank all my coaches especially Coach Jamie, Coach Todd, Coach Owen, and Coach Snook for helping me become the swimmer I am today. I am also incredibly grateful to my family and friends for always supporting me. Lastly, I want to thank Coach Sydney, Coach James, Coach Brent, and the entire West Virginia coaching staff for believing in me and giving me this amazing opportunity. I can’t wait to be a Mountaineer!”
