Olympic gold medalist Maggie Mac Neil<\/strong> will take her extra year of NCAA eligibility out west.<\/p>\n

Mac Neil announced she will be a graduate student at Cal and swim one year for the Golden Bears.<\/p>\n

“I’m so beyond excited to announce that I will be moving out west to finish up my NCAA eligibility. I feel so lucky to be able to pursue a masters degree at the University of California Berkeley, while continuing to swim at the highest level! Happy to be moving away from the snow for this new chapter! Go ?! ??”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mac Neil had been searching for the right fit for graduate school and swimming and, with a year of eligibility left, she decided on Cal. She entered the transfer portal in July.<\/p>\n

“After the changes this year, I learned I definitely wanted a split program,” Maggie Mac Neil told Swimming World. “I really connected with Teri (McKeever)<\/strong> and her visions for my training, and that is really about excelling in my last NCAA season and for Paris. Most of all, growing up in Canada, I’m ready to get out of the snow. Plus, it’s a bonus they are a #teamspeedo school.”<\/p>\n
