Congratulations, you’re awesome!! Good luck in graduate schools!!
A great person and swimmer from Iowa City.
Nooooooo.
I mean congrats on an awesome career.
Thought she maybe had a little left in the tank???
Extremely bright and talented young woman. Only better things ahead in life. It’s been great to watch her compete and be a role model both in and out of the pool.
Actually I love seeing her pursuing her education degree. Too many swimmers continue to swim because they don’t know what to do with their lives!
The future looks bright for Aurora!
Yes, at least swimmers have that alternative while they figure things out. No hurry.
Or some people just love swimming. You are going to be working for the next 50 years—don’t be in such a hurry to waste your youth on being a grown up if you don’t want to or don’t need to.
And some people love video games!
Is she planning to go to medical school? It looks like she is a Human Biology major at Stanford. Medical school and residency is its own kind of marathon.
She said PhD in clinical psych I think
Amazing career! Was hoping she’d challenge for a Worlds spot this summer, but she went out on such a high note with her NCAA finish. Congrats, Aurora!
