CCSU swimmer beats the odds to swim to Olympic trials
On most college campuses right now students are packing up to go home for summer or starting summer classes. But CCSUsophomore Maddy Garber is headed to the pool.
The sophomore Blue Devil is one of the top breast stroke swimmers in the country. And she’s made it a long way: last summer she qualified for the 100-meter breast stroke for the 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.”

Return of the lamprey – ancient, ugly and swimming up British rivers
The sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, is most likely to be seen in British rivers at this time of year as the adults swim upstream to spawn.
They are remarkable creatures but good looks are not one of their attributes. They resemble an eel and have a permanently open mouth with a great number of teeth. They also have some nasty parasitic habits.
Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about them is that they have been around since well before the dinosaurs, and with 360-million-year-old fossils looking remarkably like modern lampreys, they are said to be the oldest vertebrates.
Having thrived all that time they have suffered greatly in the UK from pollution and human interference with the flow of rivers, which has prevented them reaching their spawning grounds.
However, the cleaning up of the rivers and provision of passes to allow them to get round weirs and other obstructions has allowed them to recolonize rivers that had not seen a lamprey for many years, including the Great Ouse, Trent, Derwent and Wear.
