We are excited to announce that Edie Ancell, a talented swimmer from Auckland, New Zealand, has signed a scholarship agreement with the Monmouth University Swimming Team. Edie's dedication in the pool and impressive swimming times have earned her a place at this esteemed NCAA Division I program, competing in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC).
Over the past year, Edie has worked incredibly hard to excel in her sport. Her commitment to swimming has not only improved her performance but also caught the attention of college coaches in the United States. Her strong work ethic and passion for the sport make her a valuable addition to the Monmouth Hawks.
Located in West Long Branch, New Jersey, Monmouth University offers the perfect blend of competitive athletics and academic excellence. The university provides:
Edie was particularly drawn to Monmouth because it aligns with her athletic ambitions and offers the team atmosphere she values.
Edie will be in good company at Monmouth University, joining fellow Platform Sports athletes Luke Hitchcock (Track) and Samuel Poching (Tennis). This community of international athletes will provide additional support as she adapts to college life in the United States.
We at Platform Sports are incredibly proud to have assisted Edie throughout her recruitment process. Our team worked closely with her to identify the best opportunities that matched her athletic prowess and personal aspirations.
"The big thing that excites me about the US college system is the team aspect of it all. I love swimming; it is a huge part of my life; however, here in New Zealand, it feels very individualistic. I consider myself an extroverted person and have missed that team environment since I stopped playing netball and water polo. I'm hoping that I can join a program that is a very close-knit, bubbly team full of excitement where we all support each other in achieving our own goals."
Edie's enthusiasm for a team-oriented environment highlights her readiness to contribute positively to the Monmouth swimming program.
As Edie prepares to embark on this exciting new chapter, we are confident that she will make significant contributions to the Monmouth University Swimming Team. Her arrival is eagerly anticipated, and we can't wait to see her compete in the upcoming season.
The right team. The right programme. The right future.
Edie's story is a testament to where hard work and the right support can take you. If you're an aspiring athlete looking to pursue your dreams in the US college system, Platform Sports is here to guide you every step of the way.
