On most college campuses right now students are packing up to go home for summer or starting summer classes. Butรย CCSUsophomore Maddy Garberรย is headed to the pool.
The sophomore Blue Devil is one of the top breast strokeรย swimmersรย in the country. And she’s made it a long way: lastรย summer sheรย qualified for the 100-meter breast stroke for theรย Olympic trials, and now she’s headed back to trials this summer for a chance to make it to Rio. Except this time, she’s trying out for two events.
“To make it on the Olympic team you have to be top two in your event. So, I’m about 80th right now in both of my events, so we’ll see where that brings me.”
But she’s not too concerned with her placement. “I just want to take in the experience, honestly, I never even thought i would get this far.”
