Congrats to all! Great work in the classroom and the pool! Quick question….How could someone in this year’s graduating class attain this for 4 years? If I’m not mistaken, freshman were not eligible to apply for it four years ago. It was only open to sophomores and above.
What about swimmers on the para swimming national team?
