Hoping to become a better three -point shooter and finally break the record for most three pointers made in a season, Elyria Christan’s Addison Swenson is ready to get back on the court and do just that.

Last year Swenson finished the season with 36 three-pointers, shooting nearly 30 percent, and she still hopes to get better.

“I would like to be able to increase my shooting percentage. Shooting is one thing I really enjoy about the game, so this is a big goal of mine,” Swenson said.

As a senior Swenson has grown into a leader for Elyria Christian and head coach Greg Fields is thankful for her positive presence on the team.

“I have never heard her complain once, and she has a positive attitude in every practice, team meeting and game. She is a fierce competitor, and it really shows up in the consistent, tough defense that she plays,” Fields said.

Swenson this year is excited to see how her team blends together and how they improve throughout each game this season.

“It was fun to already see the improvement that we made this summer when we played together,” Swenson said. “As a team, I would like to see us continue to play as one. My goal is that we learn to trust each other and continue to work extremely hard.”
