Why I Chose CMU: "I chose Colorado Mesa University because it felt like a home away from home the moment I set foot on campus. I knew that this school would allow me to broaden my horizons and push me to be my best both academically and athletically. This team and the coaches are my family and I couldn't imagine swimming and competing without them."
