Shawn is dedicated, disciplined, and driven—he leads in and out of the pool with heart, hustle, and humility.
Thank you for generously supporting Shawn in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Shawn’s passion lies in the intensity of the game and the unbreakable connection with his team. It’s where he feels most alive.
Coach Butler - who has coached Shawn for nearly four years, and in that time, he’s become more than a coach—he’s a mentor, role model, and steady presence in Shawn’s life. His belief in Shawn has helped shape his confidence, character, and love for the game..
Seeing him review film, talk strategy, and push his teammates with encouragement and accountability—that’s what makes me proud as a parent.
