Why Lehigh?; “I transferred to Lehigh because I was looking for something different; a higher level academic institution balanced with a good swimming program.”
On Coach Herb: “We trust him because of his experience working with good swimmers. The proof is in some of the good athletes he has coached with the Atlantis Aquatic Club before becoming head coach at Lehigh. He’s very enthusiastic and personable.
On the Lehigh Swimming Experience: “Our numbers may be small but we have a very close knit group of girls. They’re not just teammates, but friends. We also have a very strong relationship with the men’s team as well.”
