She can swim a lot of events and has the potential to score at the conference meet and potentially down the road at NCAAs. She brings that versatility to the program and she will be a great teammate and just a great person to be around so we are excited on all fronts that she will be a part of our family."

She was pretty picky in terms of what she was looking for in a program, obviously a program that had a great sprinting tradition and she is also looking to moving up into middle distance areas too. We feel that from the freestyle she can cover it from the 50 to the 500 so we think that she is going to be a great asset."
