Senior Spotlight: Taylor Houseman of Wayzata

Name: Taylor Houseman

School: Wayzata High School

What sports do you play during the year?

Swimming

Who was your favorite athlete growing up and why?

Michael Phelps was my favorite athlete because he has had so much success in swimming. It is also cool to see a swimmer get so much attention since swimming usually doesn’t get too much attention in the media.

How would you describe yourself in three words or less?

Dedicated, determined, and dependable

What is your favorite movie?

Zoolander

Do you have a favorite sports memory that sticks out to you?

Last year our high school team won first place at True Team State. It was very fun!

What’s an item you’d like to check off your bucket list in the next year?

I would like to travel to Europe next summer. I think that it would also be very cool to go to London while I was there and see the Olympics. I could kill two birds with one stone!

If you could visit any place in the world, where would you go and why?

I would want to visit Europe because there is so much interesting history there that I have learned about and would be cool to see. Also, there are so many other beautiful and very cool things to see in the landscape, architecture, museums, etc.

What are your plans next year (going to college? majoring in? playing sports?)

I’m going to go to a college in the Midwest, but I am unsure as to which college that will be. I want to major in elementary education. I have also decided that instead of focusing on swimming, I would like to dedicate my time to choir.
