Samuel Hahs '18 Recruiting Profile

Swimming has been a part of my life for nearly eight years.  I have been fortunate to experience some amazing moments - making the podium at Zones, "racing" Cody Miller at a Pro-Am at 15 years old, qualifying for Winter Junior Nationals at 16, and most importantly winning the Missouri State High School championship meet as a team this past season and setting the state record in the 200 medley relay two years in a row! 

However, none of these things would have happened were it not for the coaches and teammates with whom I have had the pleasure of swimming.  Some say swimming is an individual sport, but I do not believe that for a moment.  I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to my club coaches and high school coach.  They have inspired me to reach levels I never thought possible, and more important, they have instilled in me a sense of responsibility, work ethic, and integrity.  I will never forget their impact! 

I want to be a part of something special at the collegiate level, and I will work hard every single day to make the team proud!  I have faced adversity, setback and championship pressure, and I believe each has made me the athlete and person I am today.  Winning a conference championship and celebrating the success of the team would be a dream come true, and I look forward to hearing from you!
