Marlee Canale is the kind of student-athlete that any coach would be happy to have on their team.
The Cedar Creek High School senior competes just as hard in the classroom as she does in the pool and leads by example in everything she does.
That competitiveness will now take her to a Division I swimming program.
Canale committed to swim at the University of Maine on a partial athletic/academic scholarship, becoming the second swimmer in school history to compete on the Division I level. Former standout Kauren Kelly swims at Pitt.
âMarlee is really the whole package,â Creek coach Lauren Ciccariello said. âSheâs on the team to do well with her form and achieve her goals but she also has other things outside of swimming that she wants to do. Sheâs not just an athlete.â
