Dear Bucknell Men's Swimming & Diving Community,
Â
Every young athlete has a dream of competing at the highest level. Here at Bucknell I have been blessed with the opportunity to represent the men’s swimming and diving team, and I am honored to be able to call Bucknell my home. Bucknell is a prestigious institution that values both strong academics and athletics. I cannot thank this wonderful community enough for the support and experiences they have been able to offer me. Knowing that I get to represent the Bucknell community each day is a dream come true and something that I will never take for granted.
Â
I knew Bucknell was the place for me when I stepped on campus for the first time. I immediately noticed the fantastic people, beautiful campus, and smiling faces. The swim team as a whole and the athletic department also helped reassure me that I had made the right decision in choosing Bucknell.
Â
As I start my senior year and have been lucky enough to be named captain, I am reminded of all the wonderful leaders I learned from in my previous three years, both in athletics and the classroom. I hope to continue that legacy and continue to lead, encourage, and motivate the younger classes. Bucknell has offered me the necessary skills and attributes through both my academic and athletic experiences to fuel me with confidence that I can do a fantastic job.
Â
Bucknell has blessed me with a team of motivated athletes who strive to not only be the best versions of themselves but also to bring out the best versions of each other. To be a part of such a wonderful team full of support and love can only truly be described as a family. I am unbelievably lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people each and every day.
Â
With another year of Bison Athletics in full swing, I am honored to share my experience with our loyal alumni, families, and friends. Every positive experience at Bucknell is a direct result of the generous donations to our program. Every dollar helps ensure my teammates and I have everything we need to compete at the highest level - from better equipment, meals, an increased travel budget, and our beloved travel training trip.
Â
On behalf of the entire Bucknell men’s swimming and diving team, we would like to thank you for your contributions to our program and for your continued support to help us live out our childhood dreams. Because of you, we are able to wake up each morning and represent a school that we love. Thank you for your support, it is greatly appreciated.
Â
Go Bison!
