Maris' freshman season ended with 3 top 16 conference finishes, she had lifetime best performances in 2 of her 3 conference events. After off season shoulder surgery, she continued to help with the team, providing valuable support to both her teammates and the coaching staff. Despite not being able to practice and compete, Maris barely missed a practice and was always willing to do whatever was necessary to provide a great experience for her teammates. Her leadership was on display and led to her being nominated by her teammates to serve as a captain for her junior season.


Being an Asbury student-athlete is more than just representing Asbury in my sport. What we do every day has a greater meaning, which is to glorify God in all things. This goes further than swimming; it also applies to our schooling and our daily life as an Asbury student. I love the balance created here at Asbury that allows us to focus on our schooling, while also getting to compete as an Asbury Eagle, all while glorifying God because through Him all things are possible.

“As a coach you never want to see one of your athletes unable to compete because of an injury. Maris never let that get her down and told me before her surgery that she wanted to continue to help the team however she could. I got to watch her grow as a teammate and a leader during a time when she easily and understandably could have taken a step back. Instead, she stepped in and faced her rehab and recovery head on and I can’t wait to see how she takes advantage of her opportunities this year.”
Graham Duncan | Asbury Swimming Head Coach

The TeamAU Golf Experience is an opportunity for Asbury student-athletes, coaches, and staf to connect with TeamAU supporters on the golf course.
