Joseph "Braxton" Young '14 Recruiting Profile

Dear Coach:

I am a 6' 2" 165 lbs senior at Marist School in Atlanta with a 3.94 GPA and a 30 on the ACT.  I will graduate in May 2014 with 5 AP classes and close to a 4.0 GPA.  I plan on entering  the Engineering College and Honors College.

In May, I will graduate as a four year letterman in swimming and as team captain.   As a junior, I placed third in Georgia High School State class A-AAAAA in 50 free with a 21.08 (AA Consideration time and Marist School record) and second in Georgia High School State in 100 free with a 47.44.  I was also on the second place 200 free relay team.  I was voted most valuable swimmer by my high school team.  I am a team leader.  I am a sprinter who continues to get faster and stronger.  The most exciting thing about my swimming career is that I have only been swimming year round for two and a half years.  My coach and I am confident that I will continue to get stronger and faster.  I know I can contribute to a great swimming program.  My reasonable short term goal during my senior years in the 50 free is to drop from a 21.08 to a 20.35.  My goal in the 100 free is to hit sub 46.00, 100 breast is a 57.50 and 100 fly of sub 50.00. I will meet or exceed these goals.  As I mature and get stronger I am confident that I will continue to improve with a great college swimming program.   I am looking for a program that will push me to be the best swimmer I can be. If you are looking for a strong student athlete and leader, I know you will find these traits in me.  I am interested in swimming for a coach and program that shares my passion for the sport, competition and the team.

No obstacle or challenge is too great ... I will succeed.

Thank you for your interest, I will also complete your online recruiting questionnaire.  I hope we can speak soon.
