British free/fly sprinter Emily Haimes has announced her plans to transfer to the University of Nebraska after two years at West Virginia University.
“I am delighted to announce that I will be continuing my swimming and, academic career at the University of Nebraska. I am very grateful for, the opportunity to work with Coach Pablo and Coach Patrick. I am also, thankful for my friends and family who have supported me throughout, this journey., I really feel that Nebraska provides me with the best opportunity to, excel, both in and out of the pool. From my very first conversation, with the Coaches, I could immediately see their huge knowledge and, experience and am looking forward to working with them to further, develop my swimming. I am so excited for the future and cannot wait to be a Husker.”
