From the coaching staff:
"Trevor led by example and pushed everyone to give 110%. He took the distance group under his wing by talking strategy and then challenged them each day to practice and compete at a high level." - March 2020 

What others say:
"He was a motivated swimmer and leader who went out of his way to make sure the freshmen were included in all activities outside the pool." - April 2020

"During his time at RPI, Trevor was one of the most consistently successful members of the team. His work ethic both in the pool and in the classroom was an example for everyone on the team to follow, and allowed him to achieve the success that he did while at RPI. Trevor was a captain this past season, and constantly pushed every member of the team to be the very best they could be, while also being among one of the hardest workers." - April 2020

"He has offered me advice and guidance without hesitation in every aspect, including career, swimming, and my studies. He is always prepared to help anyone, no matter their relationship." - April 2020

"Trevor Maxfield was one of our team captains and really held the team together. He was always outgoing and encouraging to everyone on the team. He excelled both in and out of the pool." - April 2020

"Trevor is one of the most confident swimmers on our team. He works extremely hard to achieve his goals, and slacking off is foreign to him. After graduation, he will pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics at Stanford University. We will miss joking around with him." - April 2020

"Trevor is a very helpful person and a model I should learn from. He works hard every single practice and also maintain very good grades. Wish him the best of luck at Stanford! " - April 2020

"I've never met anyone who truly believes deep down in their soul that they're a winner. Trevor's insane drive for the sport made him a fierce competitor in and out of the pool. You can always bet on Trevor to win a race. He'll be greatly missed." - April 2020

"Hard worker and great captain. Best of luck at graduate school." - April 2020

"Thanks for making distance practice a great time for all of us. You are one of the funniest people I know and I wish you the best of luck at Stanford!" - April 2020
