She&#8217;s coming off a strong long course season, competing at the Futures Championships in Cary and the North Carolina Long Course Senior Championships. Former SwimMAC head coach and CEO\u00a0<strong>David Marsh\u00a0<\/strong>is entering his second year at the helm of UCSD&#8217;s program.<\/p>\n<p>Also representing Charlotte Country Day School, Francis is a three-time NCISAA 3A state champion. As a sophomore in 2017, the USA Swimming Scholastic All-American\u00a0won both the 50 free (24.27) and 100 free (52.15) and repeated her title in the 50 (23.78) as a junior.<\/p>\n<p>She told\u00a0<em>Swimming World:<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>&#8220;I chose UCSD because it gives me the perfect balance of an incredible swim program and the highest level of academics, not to mention that it is located in one of the most beautiful parts of the country.

She would have scored in the A final of the 50 free, 100 free and 200 free at the 2018 PCSC Championships. Francis will have two years of overlap with\u00a0<strong>Ciara Franke<\/strong>, the 2018 PCSC champion in the 200 free.
