Hailey Swope

I'm Hailey Swope a 2025 graduate from Canon McMillan High School.  Playing softball in college is something I dream about. I believe in myself, take pride in being adaptable, work hard to improve, and always put forth my best effort. I have a special love for the game of softball. In individual sports an athlete can be selfish and doesn’t have to play as part of a team. As a team captain I take the responsibility of working as a team personally. During my early years of travel ball, I've played several positions including third base and center field primarily.  In 2020, one of the coaches asked me to learn a new position to make the team better. I worked hard to learn a new position and became our starting shortstop. After spending a year playing shortstop and getting to know the position more, shortstop is now my preferred primary position. While I've spent the most time at shortstop and third base, I believe I can contribute to a college team however I am needed.   Academics are very important to me and my family. Just like I push myself on the softball field, I've always tried my best in school. I challenge myself by striving for all A’s and taking advanced placement courses. I currently have a 4.21 GPA (Honor Roll) and I am trying harder everyday to improve my GPA going forward. Attending a school that prepares me for a career and provides a quality education is my highest priority.
