Shannon
Milstead
Name (and nickname)- Shannon Milstead.. everyone calls me 'Milstead'
Hometown- Enola, PA
Major-
Early Childhood Education
Favorite Event- 200 Fly and 200 Free (wish I started swimming 200 free earlier in
my career)
Favorite Practice- ALL DRYLAND PRACTICES! (I still have the land sport girl in me)
Best Team Memory- all of the training trips to Florida & California (even
though we started out in cold weather and ended in it)
Where do you see yourself in 10 years- teaching and coaching,
being happily married to my best friend Brandon (Nova as the girls call him)
with our most lovable companion Pabst, and having our family grow.
Advice to the team- Remember to keep an open mind and heart. This sport is one of the
longest, most exhausting, exciting, physical and emotional ride you will take
while you are at Lock Haven University. While you are here, you will become not
only best friends with those other girls that are standing next to you, but you
will become a family. They will be the ones that you rely on and turn too when
you feel like you don't have anyone else. You will see those girls more times
in one day that you might like sometimes but in the end going through
everything that you have you will feel so lucky to have them by your side.
I just want to say that I
couldn't have made it through these past four years without you girls by my
side. Especially the two that are standing up here with me (& Stoner). You
all have made my college experience one of the best ones I could ask for. You
have all become the sisters that I never had. I want to thank you for
everything that you've done for me and never give up on your dreams.
So, never let the fear of
striking out keep you from playing the game.. or getting in the pool!
