Haverford High swimmer Grace Myers is Main Line Girls Athlete of the Week

The senior, who has been the Fords’ leading scorer, was the Kinney Open champion in the 200 free at Bucknell University and her time in the 200 free ranks in the top 30 in the state on PASwimming.com. A versatile performer, Myers holds two District 1 Automatic Cuts in the 200 free (1:57.0) and 100 fly (1:00.8), is close to having a third in the 100 free. She has committed to swim for Vassar College next year, and is a member of National Honor Society, Spanish Honor Society, Science Honor Society and the school’s Movie Club. Haverford High School head coach Matt Stewart said, “She’s one of the hardest working swimmers I have ever coached – she truly embodies our team’s core value of ‘Honoring your teammates with your effort’ day in and day out.”
