Maybe you have seen the streak of pink hair in the water during a recent swim meet. That streak?

Sophomore, and first time swim team member, Adelle Rudolph.

Her skills have already proven themselves in her first meet with Perry leaving her as one of the top female sprinters of the swim team.

Head coach Stephanie Carrasco believes there are great things ahead for the sophomore.  “She’s definitely a racer, definitely one that gets up for the moment,” Carrasco said. “I see her definitely finishing as our top sprinter for Perry. I’m hoping that she’s going to break the school records that have been held since 2009, I’m hoping to see that gets broken by her this year at the end of the season.”

Rudolph has been swimming for only four years, but has already become one of Perry’s top female sprinters.

“I’ve always really wanted to do it [swimming],” Rudolph said. “Being in the water is really relaxing to me and to do it competitively is really so much fun and I just find a lot of joy in doing it.”

Rudolph’s overall goals this season are to improve her time on the 50 Freestyle and the 100 Freestyle.

“They are the strokes I can be the best at, and work the hardest at,” Rudolph explained.

Her progress over her small time as a swimmer is overwhelming. In one meet before her time as a Puma, she managed to claim first place in every event she competed in, along with clenching the  Best Female Swimmer out of all the other swimmers.

“It made me feel very important,” Rudolph stated after explaining her victory. “I could do something with hard work and dedication.” Her driving force this year is to make an impact on the Perry Swim team, hopefully in state.

“My goal is to make it to state and to bring my time down a lot,” she said. Now, Rudolph sits at a time of 27, which she hopes to bring down to a 25 by the end of her season.

Rudolph has demonstrated her skills on numerous occasions and has proved to be one of Perry’s secret and newest weapons for this 2014-2015 season of swim.
