No matter what level she was competing at, Washington State freshman Avery Bulkley loved the challenge that swimming brought her. Even in her first year competing at the collegiate level, Bulkley has welcomed the challenge.
Growing up in Payson, Utah, being a collegiate swimmer was always the goal for Bulkley. Her junior year, coaches started reaching out to her, but from the start Wazzu always stood out to her.
Bulkley said Pullman reminded her of the small towns back in her home state. As well as connecting with the staff and girls on the team, it was obvious to Bulkley that she would be in Pullman by the start of her freshman year.
