If you have a commitment to report, please send an email with a photo (landscape, or horizontal, looks best) and a quote to [email protected].
Too bad none of her accomplishments are for USA …..sad we bring in so many international swimmers on full rides and our USA swimmers get hardly nothing …..and she will go to olimpics for another county….
Great addition to the team!
So this girl starts in January and they can give her a full ride but only counts as half along with the American distance girl starting in January on a full ride (and only counts as half) so two fornthr price of one!
Can someone explain this more?
If you only get a scholarship for half the year, it only counts as half a scholarship.
