A transition into college and Divison I athletics can either go one of two ways: well, or not so well.
For freshman swimmer Sara Ouellette, the transition to the pool has gone better than usual. She has already won events in the 200 meter freestyle, the 100 and 200 meter butterfly, 200 meter backstroke and the 200 meter medley relay this season.
Outside of the pool in the college landscape, however, Ouellette has already seen the difficulties that come with being a college athlete.
“It was hard at first because the training was so much different from what I was used to,” she said.
