Kate Hickey and Heather Farley, both of Visitation, a St. Paul, MN private high school, have signed with colleges for next season.
Kate Hickey signs on with Providence, with her parents by her side.
Hickey, who also swims for Minnetonka Swim Club, has signed with Division I Providence College in Rhode Island. She’s primarily a breaststroker, with a lifetime-best 1:07.23 in the 100 breast and a 2:31.14 in the 200.
Heather Farley signs with Villanova at the Visitation ceremony.
Farley swims for Blackline Aquatics in addition to Visitation. She’s also a breaststroker, and has signed with Villanova. Her top times are 1:06.14 and 2:23.07, but she’s probably more highly-rated in long course, going 1:13.60 this past summer.
The two teammates will now get to compete against each other in the Big East Conference going forward.
