Randy is this you ?
UVA was fortunate to have Maxine. Didn’t get the attention like some of the other swimmers, but consistently scored points and swam on numerous record breaking relays.
Such a great young lady! What a career, and what grit she showed competing after her NCAA career. Wishing her all the best at WUGS and in life!
Great interview, Maxine! Best of luck to you at WUGS!
