Leah Mullen, a junior, and Laura Gomez, a freshwoman, showed what hard work and determination can accomplish this past weekend as they participated in the Swim-A-Mile fundraiser to benefit the Women’s Cancer Resource Center.
Both women joined the swim team this year without any previous experience in competitive swimming. After training for only five weeks, they both swam a full mile (72 lengths of the pool) in under an hour.
This is a tremendous accomplishment, which required perseverance and dedication.
