Supporting comments: "Sarah is the type of student who engages material, identifying themes, recognizing connections across diverse topics, and evaluating its quality. Early on she established herself as an intellectual leader in class. She also demonstrated an amazing enthusiasm and commitment for community service. She decided to volunteer with a student organization that arranges weekly trips to Columbus to visit with and befriend individuals receiving inpatient treatment for chronic mental health problems. She decided to help lead the group the following year. She took the initiative to create a relationship between Denison students and the St. Vincent's Children's Center in Columbus where she has involved more than a dozen first-year women swimmers. As a superb member of Denison's Women's Swimming and Diving team, when measured by All-American performances, Sarah is among Denison's most celebrated and honored female athletes in school history. Measured by her time improvements, Sarah may rank as our greatest swimmer ever. Without hesitation, Sarah ranks as one of the most committed athletes I have worked with in my twenty-three years of coaching. Sarah's impact on our program extends far beyond her contribution in points and honors. Leading by example more so than words, Sarah has provided our younger swimmers with a great model on how to conduct themselves in and out of the pool."
