Head swimming and diving coach Todd DeSorbo<\/strong> announced the signing of Cary Lynn Fields<\/strong> on Friday (April 27) with a special signing ceremony at the Aquatic and Fitness Center. Fields, a 6-year-old from Bumpass, Va., was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy in 2011.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

Fields signed her draft day letter with members of the Cavalier swimming and diving team present. As an official member of the team, Fields will attend Virginia practices, meets, team dinners, events and more.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great having Cary Lynn and her family join our team today in Charlottesville,\u201d DeSorbo said.\u00a0\u201cTeam IMPACT is a fantastic cause and our student-athletes have had a great experience being involved with Cary Lynn. She is a 6-year-old that loves the water and music.\u00a0Our staff and our student-athletes are excited to have her joining our program and we look forward to having Cary Lynn on the deck at future practices and home competitions.\u00a0<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cHer mother told me she was up at\u00a05 a.m.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0this morning wanting to put on her orange and blue for the day\u2019s signing. To know that we are having that type of impact in her life is heartening.
