Hope College NCAA Division III runner-up Meg Peel<\/strong> announced she has transferred from Hope to Alabama for the fall semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has always been a dream of mine to swim Division I,\u201d Peel told Swimming World<\/em>. \u201cComing out of high school I was not fast enough nor confident enough to swim at that level. I visited Hope and I fell in love with everything \u2014 my teammates, coaches, and professors. It was such a great experience. My teammates and coaches at Hope and (Michigan Lakeshore Aquatics) are the reason I even had the opportunity to explore this dream of mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of her MLA teammates already swim for Alabama. She will join Kyle Maas<\/strong> (West Ottawa), Derek Maas<\/strong> (West Ottawa) and Riley VanMeter<\/strong> (Holland Christian) on the Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTo be able to compete for Alabama alongside some of the world’s elite swimmers is awesome,\u201d Meg Peel said. \u201cI wanted to take advantage of every opportunity given to take my swimming to the next level. I could not be more excited to take on this challenge.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Peel was Division III runner-up in the 200-yard backstroke<\/a>, swimming a school-record 1:58.50. She also was an All-American in the 100 back.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I felt it was a big stepping stone,\u201d Peel said in March. \u201cI waited for so long. I didn’t earlier in the season if I was going to be there. In between the MIAA Championships and nationals, we focused on underwater work. That was the main component to breaking that barrier.\u201d<\/p>\n
