From Palmyra, PA and is the daughter of Richard and Mary
Ellen. Kaitlyn majored in Psychology. Her favorite event is 100 breast.
Kaitlyn’s most memorable swim would be her sophomore year when a girl from ESU
and her swam every event together and Kaitlyn out touched her in every event.
After the meet she told her that Kaitlyn was the first person to ever push her
to her fullest potential. Kaitlyn’s favorite practice isn’t necessarily her
favorite one but it is one that she won’t ever forget. Freshmen year on
training trip, Ciara and Kaitlyn were swimming a set and they weren’t too happy
and one of the sets consisted of at least 4 kicks of breaststroke before they
could come up for a breath. Well Kaitlyn and Ciara weren’t really feeling all
of the kicks and so Kaitlyn only took 3 kicks and when she got to the other end
of the pool she could hear Andy scream from 7 lanes away screaming her name and
said that the practice said 4 kicks. Not anything less and that she better not
do it again. Ciara heard this and started laughing and said sucks for you and
with that Andy yelled you think that’s funny Conklin well you can do 6 kicks!
Needless to say the two of them have never valued breathing as much as they did
after that practice. Even today Kaitlyn won’t come up until she has done all of
the kicks she has been asked to do because of that practice coming back to
haunt her. Kaitlyn’s favorite thing at LHU is definitely the regatta she loves
all the food, games, and of course the scrambler ride! Her advice to the
seniors of next year is that is obviously it is going to suck at times and that
you’ll want to cry, scream, and even quit. But just remember the girls by your
side who have been with you from the beginning and then the thought of quitting
won’t even exist. Enjoy it and live it up because it goes by in the blink of an
eye. Kaitlyn sees herself with a job that she loves and a family with lots of
kids running around 10 years from now.
