COLLEGE SWIMMING: OWEGO'S GAULT SIGNS TO ATTEND ADELPHI UNIVERSITY (2021-05-13)

Tioga County Sports Report
OWEGO — Owego girls swimming standout Ashleigh Gault is heading to Long Island. The senior signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Adelphi University here Tuesday.

Gault cited multiple reasons for choosing Adelphi.

"I chose Adelphi for their amazing social work program and connections to New York City and the United Nations," she said. "They also have an amazing athletics program that ensures athletes are academically supported as well. Overall, Adelphi is a great school with great connections and a program I couldn't turn down." 

Gault will be taking on a challenging curriculum at Adelphi.

"I will be studying to get my masters in social work with an international focus, while minoring in political science," she said.

She plans on contributing to the swim program while there.

"I hope to bring to Adelphi's swim team a positive attitude, versatility, and a strong desire to improve not only as an individual, but as a group," Gault said.

"I want to become more well-rounded as a student and an athlete."

"Ashleigh is one of the hardest working athletes I’ve met," Owego girls swim coach Luci Taylor said. "She has contributed to the success of the Owego swim program every year. Her mental toughness and natural leadership is contagious and I have no doubt that she will be successful in her college years and beyond.

"Ashleigh embodies everything the Owego swim and dive program stands for and we will miss her very much next year!"

Adelphi competes in the Northeast-10 Conference and the East Coast Athletic Conference.
