University of Texas Record Holder Grace Ariola Medically Retires<\/strong><\/p>\n

University of Texas sprinter Grace Ariola<\/strong> announced she is retiring from swimming for medical reasons.<\/p>\n

Ariola made the announcement on Instagram Wednesday. The Longhorns senior said in the post that it stems from a viral infection during her freshman year that has led to chronic fatigue syndrome, robbing her of the energy that made her one of the top American youth sprinters of her age group.<\/p>\n
