Quincy University Hawks

Personal: Keaton Weaver, from Bettendorf, Iowa, attended Bettendorf High School, where he was a standout swimmer and cross-country runner for the Bulldogs. He comes from an athletic family, with his father, Keith Weaver, having played football at the University of Dubuque and basketball at Mount St. Clare College. His mother's name is Stephanie, and he has a brother named Hudson.

A dedicated athlete, Keaton served as the team captain of his high school swim team and was a three-time state qualifier in swimming. He played a key role in leading his cross-country team to a freshman/sophomore conference championship and holds multiple team and meet relay records, including the 2020-21 400 Free Relay and the 2019-20 Fr/So 200 and 400 Free Relays. Additionally, he holds several club team records and has competed at Zones 14&U and Open Water Zones.

Beyond athletics, Keaton enjoys reading, writing, and playing video games. Passionate about giving back to his sport, he teaches group and private swim lessons in his community and led his club team’s lesson program over the summer. He takes inspiration from his own journey, striving to push himself to greater heights in and out of the pool.

Why QU?
I chose QU for many reasons - the undergrad programs that are offered, the location, small class sizes, and small campus, and the connection to the coaches and other swimmers.
