Power looks to grow, ‘epitomizes’ ideal student athlete

Minutes removed from the 400-yard freestyle relay win that lifted the Cougars to a conference-opening victory Thursday morning at the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center, Katie Power cooled down with her teammates.

With a big chunk of her day now gone after Houston’s dominant 183-117 win over Tulane, the junior from Kingwood hit the books to study.

“The swimming actually helps a lot more than you would think,” Power said.
