Reason For Choosing Arkansas:
“I chose to come to Arkansas for my fifth year of eligibility because I love the swimming culture
and atmosphere here. Growing up in Fayetteville, Arkansas I saw firsthand the dedication
the coaches and the girls had throughout the years. I knew coming back home would be the
perfect fit for me to grow in my swimming career and make lifelong friendships with my
teammates.”
