Foley’s efforts have not gone unnoticed. Next year, she will swim and compete at the Naval Academy.
“This January, I realized that it was a possibility,” Foley said. “And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it would be a really good fit for me. I went on a visit in September, and all the other recruited people that were committed were there. So, being around them and seeing how nice they were and really what it was like was when I realized I definitely want to.”
