Kara Campbell '20 Recruiting Profile

2017 Highlights Personal Statement
Dear Potential Coaches,
My name is Kara Campbell. I am in my sophomore year at Wallenpaupack Area High School in Hawley, PA. As a student athlete at Wallenpaupack Area High School, I am preparing myself academically, socially and athletically to help me achieve my dreams and goals of becoming a successful collegiate athlete. Within my NCSA profile, you will see I am not only active athletically throughout the year, but I am also a leader within our school and community. I am currently the Class of 2020 Vice President, a Wallenpaupack Area School District Student Ambassador, a member of the Wallenpaupack Athletic Council, and a member of the Wallenpaupack Student Council, which organizes many activities here at Wallenpaupack Area High School. I am looking forward to building a solid foundation of academics and athletics for my future.
One thing I feel that makes me unique from other swimmers, is that I am a successful two sport varsity athlete competing in the competitive District 2 region of Pennsylvania. As a freshman, I was a District 2 AAA champion and competed at states in both swimming and track and field. While I enjoy my other sports, swimming is the sport that I truly love and want to compete in at the college level. Although, I do have to sacrifice some swim yardage during the spring while I am competing on the track and field team, I feel playing other sports makes me a stronger, more well rounded student athlete. Being a multi sport athlete and swimmer allows me to learn at an early age the skill in balancing my academics, athletics, swim team yardage, family and friends.
I am looking forward to the recruiting process and learning about different college programs. I am working each day to reach my goals of becoming a NCAA swimming student athlete. When the time comes to transition into a year round college swimming program, I will be fresh for more stroke technique, hungry for more yardage and ready to progress academically, socially and athletically.
