Abby Springer of Paso Robles, CA has announced her decision to further her academic and athletic careers at the University of Redlands beginning in the 2021-2022 season. She is a senior at Paso Robles High School and she swims year-round for the Paso Aquatic Club.
I loved the academic reputation of Redlands and I am thankful for all of the support and encouragement that Coach Whittemore has given me. I look forward to studying and swimming at a school with the atmosphere and beauty of Redlands. The student population is the perfect size and I love the architecture and accessibility of the campus. I can’t wait to meet the people and my new teammates.
