First Place – Sarah Decowski, Martin County High School
Sarah’s commitment to swimming stretched beyond the pool when she used her leadership and debate skills to lobby for the repair and reopening of the Martin County Pool, where her team practiced.
By rallying teammates and the community to attend and speak at the school board meeting, the district committed $483,500 to get the swimming pool repaired.
Sarah has personally won more than 30 swimming awards and helped her swim team win seventh place in the 200-yard medley relay in the Florida State Championship.
Sarah is president of her debate team and founder of her school’s Academic Ambassadors. She plans to major in biology, become a veterinarian and work at a zoo that focuses on conservation.
