Cotter Welch: Making waves through adversity

JAMIE HEALY | STAFF REPORTER | jdhealy1@butler.edu

Cotter Welch has received plenty of accolades over her distinguished career. The fifth-year swimmer is a four-time Big East Championship qualifier, three-time member of the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll and team co-captain each of the last three years.

However, it is the behind-the-scenes leadership and resolve that make Welch’s time at Butler special.

After swimming competitively for club teams since she was 10 years old, Welch has always loved the sport. When looking for high schools to attend, a top-tier swim program was a major factor.
