Hepper shared,
“I chose Minnesota because I have been a huge Gopher fan since I was a little girl! It has always been a goal of mine to swim at Minnesota and I am so happy to be apart of them team! The coaches are so friendly and are really dedicated to what they do and genuinely want to see improvements in all of their swimmers. I know by choosing to commit to Minnesota I will be challenged not only in the pool but also in the classroom. Minnesota has everything that I could ever want in a school plus more. So excited to be a Gopher!”
