Getting to know Laura...
Name: Laura Ginish
Hometown: Lincoln, RI
High School: Lincoln High School
Parents’ names: Glenn Ginish Sr. and Elisabeth Ginish
Siblings’ names and ages: Glenn Ginish Jr, 24
Why did you choose JMU?
When I walked on campus for the first time it took my breath away, something just felt like home about JMU.
What is your major?
Interdisiplinary Liberal Studies (Education)
What do you enjoy most about JMU Swimming and Diving?
The people. The girls on this team and the staff are what make waking up for 5 a.m. practice bearable.
What are your goals for this season?
My goal is to train hard and motivate my teammates to do the same.
What is your pre-meet ritual and/or music?
I’ve got to call mom and dad before each meet, they always know exactly what to say to get me ready to swim.
Who or what motivates you and why?
My brother Glenn, he’s been through almost everything and he’s a stronger person for it. He gives me the piece of mind and the strength to go about tasks I didn’t even think were possible.
What are your favorite things about JMU?
The great friends I’ve made along the way, the beautiful scenery, and the delicious and never-ending food
What is your favorite place on campus?
I love walking back from ISAT and looking out at the background, seeing the mountains in the distance against the JMU campus.
What are your favorite:
Foods: Chicken, pizza and generally anything that’s not good for you...
Movies: Shrek, Old School, Braveheart...there’s too many to list...
TV Shows: 24, Grey’s Anatomy, Friends, Desperate Housewives, Brothers and
Sisters, Nip/Tuck
Music: Everything
Athlete: Coco Crisp...I Love the Red Sox!
What do you want to do after college?
Dental School
What is your favorite event and why?
100 fly because it’s always a good test of where I’m at during the season.
What is your personal motto?
The best things in life are the ones you work hard to get.
What other activities or hobbies do you enjoy?
Dancing, volleyball, hanging out with friends, and going to the beach
Something people don’t know about you?
I still sleep with my teddy bears (Teddy and Mat)... and I bring him with me to every meet.
The best part of your day at JMU is...
Running up (more like crawling up) the D-hall steps to dinner after practice.
