Kendra Sheehan from Upper Arlington, Ohio has announced her intention to swim for Ohio University in the fall. Her sister, Erin Sheehan, is a sophomore on the University of Notre Dame women’s swimming and diving team. Sheehan wrote on social media:
“Excited to announce my verbal commitment to Ohio University next year! The school and swim program are all I’ve ever wanted in continuing my academic and athletic career. Thanks to everyone who has supported me thus far and helped me through this decision so I didn’t have to take an extra 6 months like Erin did. Can’t wait for the next 4 years! Go Bobcats!!! ??”
