Over 5,500 miles from her hometown of Krakow, Poland, Joanna Grymek will begin the next phase of her basketball this winter.
The 6-foot-8 center joined the Beavers on campus this summer, as a junior transfer from Seward County Community College in Liberal, Kan. Before being recruited by Oregon State, Grymek knew very little about the state she now lives, but the post player found the right fit with the Beavers, largely because of the culture created by the coaching staff and players on the team.
"There are great people here at OSU and they made it a good fit for me," Grymek said.
