Dear Bucknell Women’s Swimming & Diving Community,
Every young athlete dreams of competing at the highest collegiate level and here at Bucknell, we have the opportunity to thrive both in the classroom and the pool. I am honored to represent the Bucknell women’s swimming and diving team, and I am extremely blessed and fortunate to call Bucknell my home. Bucknell is a highly admired institution that values strong academics and athletics. The experience and the support I have received from this community is truly incredible, and the opportunity to wake up every morning and represent Bucknell is an exciting reality that I once dreamt about.
When I first stepped on campus during my junior year of high school, I instantly realized that Bucknell is a special place. I was immediately impressed with the beautiful campus, school community and atmosphere, and I loved the spirit and camaraderie of the swim team. As I begin my senior season, I have been reflecting on the strong team leaders who preceded me and helped shape Bucknell Swimming and Diving into the outstanding program it is today. Bucknell has given my teammates and me a special place to build personal connections and develop leadership skills that will impact our future careers.
As team captain this year, I strive to further strengthen our legacy by continuing to foster a team culture that supports a positive, inclusive, genuine, and spirited environment. With the incredible support and mentorship from our coaching staff, our program is driven by motivated women who strive to be the very best version of themselves. I am grateful to be surrounded by a team full of such love and support, and words cannot express how much my coaches, team, and the Bucknell athletic department mean to me.
My positive experience at Bucknell is a direct result of your contributions to our program. Your donations enable us to compete at the highest level by supporting our equipment, meals, training trips, and our traveling budget. The support we receive from alumni and the Bucknell community is a pillar of our program’s success and we sincerely appreciate your generosity.
As student-athletes, we are proud to represent Bucknell in every aspect of our lives and we appreciate your role in achieving our program goals. On behalf of my coaches, teammates, and Bucknell Athletics: thank you for your support and always, ‘ray Bucknell!
