Junior standout shares more on being a Badger and life outside the pool
MADISON, Wis. — When did your swimming career start?
"I started swimming when I was just 4 years old. I grew up in Missouri and was on my neighborhood swim team. That was a lot of fun for everyone, especially during the summertime."
What made you want to come to UW?
"I wanted a school that was strong academically. So I toured Madison on a recruiting visit and fell in love with the campus and team atmosphere. After that, I knew this community was something I really wanted to be a part of."
