Tell us about your NCAA experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sophomore year of high school I swam really fast times. I was really surprised and I was really excited for how things were going in high school. Junior and senior year I went slower so I thought I peaked in high school. I didn\u2019t expect to get faster in college at all. I was surprised when I qualified in two events for NCAAs. The NCAAs were a week long meet in Shenandoah, Texas. The Grove City team had a couple provisional qualifiers, but I was the only one invited to come to the meet. I was allowed to bring another teammate who was super supportive in a very hands-on way. I competed three days in a row, ended up getting 7<sup>th<\/sup> in the 100 butterfly, 6<sup>th<\/sup> in the 200 butterfly and 35<sup>th<\/sup> in the 200 backstroke. It was crazy because NCAAs were on my radar since high school and being a multiple All American hasn\u2019t changed much in my life. I planned on swimming all four years. I didn\u2019t expect to get faster. I loved swimming. Everything was fun last year and it turned out to be a little bit extra, but didn\u2019t change my viewpoint on swimming. I&#8217;ll stay positive and this was just a reward for my hard work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anne Shirley Dassow Class of 2020 Double Major Biology: Health and Spanish Campus Involvement: Varsity Women&#8217;s Swim team Pre-Health Society Vice-President of Crown and Sceptre Spanish Club How do you manage to balance academics and a varsity sport?
