Student-Athlete Spotlight: Audrey Mefford '23
Audrey qualified for the state swim meet this weekend in Knoxville. She qualified for 200 free, 200 IM, 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 500 freestyle, & 100 breaststroke. Since you can only swim two, Audrey will swim 50 freestyle and 100 breaststroke.
In the classroom, Audrey holds a 4.64 GPA, is a candidate for the full IB diploma and is a member of the LynxServe and DECA clubs. After graduation, Audrey is still undecided, but is currently leaning toward attending Loyola Marymount University in CA.
Congrats Audrey and good luck this weekend!
