A native of Melbourne, Australia, Greeves is a butterfly specialist but also swims in backstroke and freestyle events. Greeves attends Strathcona Baptist Girls Grammar and trains at Melbourne Vicentre Swimming Club, where she is coached by Ian Pope, who was part of the 2000 Olympic Games staff.

"I am excited to have Melissa become part of this recruiting class," Schrader said. "I think she will impact us in several events, including relays. Our staff and team felt like she fit in well here because of her work ethic and desire to improve. She also excels in the classroom, and we will be glad to see her here next year."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
