Williamsport HS Swimmer Excels In and Beyond Water

Really neat article in today's Wiliamsport Sun-Gazette about Clair Smith, a 12 varsity letter winner at Williamsport High School.  Four of those varisty letters came from swimming.  To highlight some points of the article:
  • Working is something that Smith is clearly good at, as she quickly progressed as a swimmer despite not having much experience before high school.
  • "From the moment she came to the team as a freshman she showed leadership," said Smith's swim coach Bill Keiser. "Her leadership is what sticks out and her work ethic is unmatched. Claire was definitely a true leader and she improved from her freshman year to her senior year."
  • Smith is heading north to Gannon University where she plans to walk onto the swim team while majoring in occupational therapy.
  • Not only did Smith excel in athletics, she graduated in the top 15 percent of her class.
