So thankful that Sara was a charter member of the Wheaton Sport Center Stingrays. Sara signed her National Letter of Intent today to swim for Georgia Tech, NCAA Division 1, ACC Conference. The Head Coach of the Yellow Jackets is Courtney Shealy Hart, 2000 Olympian, who attended the University of Georgia and competed NCAA D1 in both Swimming and Volleyball for the Georgia Bulldogs (on the same day on 3 separate occasions).
