James Galligan, Student-Athlete of the Week
Class: Senior.
Grade-point average: 3.5.
Favorite subject: Environmental Science.
High-school sport: Swimming (qualified for the Colorado Class 4A Championships in every event the past season; at state, finished sixth in both the 100-yard breaststroke and 50 freestyle).
What I’ve done lately: Team has had just three meets, but Galligan has qualified for state in the 100 breaststroke, and the 50 and 100 freestyles).
Why I attend Mullen: I attend Mullen for the good academics and athletic reputation -- that was the big thing that led me to go to Mullen. And the major thing was the smaller class sizes. I felt it was really important to my learning..
The best thing about my sport: It’s the community of people it comes with, I feel, especially at Mullen. It’s a smaller group. Everyone is so nice and it’s just a great group of guys.
Planned career: Has signed to swim at Chapman University in Orange, Calif; undecided on major.
In my immediate future: I can’t wait to get to Chapman to swim and start the collegiate level, but I would like to get on the podium, the top three, in my swim events at state (in May). That’s my major goal right now.
