Paige Gray
Paige started swimming competitively at the age of 7. She swam on club teams such as Bluefish Swim Club and Crimson Aquatics for multiple years. She joined the Oliver Ames Swim and Dive Team her freshman year. Paige's main events during the season are 50 Yard Freestyle and 100 Yard Freestyle along with any relays that involve Freestyle. She hopes her role as a captain will allow her teammates to enjoy swim as much as she does and provide them with skills she learned throughout her years of being a competitive swimmer.
