Over the weekend Elisabeth Schauer swam in two events at the state championships, but a few days before that she made a decision that will undoubtedly affect the rest of her life.

While elite athletes across the nation were signing national letters on intent to top athletic programs all over the country Schauer had several options to further her academic and athletic career. Buffalo, Rhode Island and Providence all recruited the Pelican superstar but in the end Schauer felt that Bryant would be the best fit for her.

“I am really excited for next year,” said Schauer, “I chose Bryant because there is a good balance between academics, swimming and social life.”

Schauer says that one of her favorite parts about Bryant is her future coaching staff, and right now the team is setting high expectations for next year.

“There goal is to win the NEC conference meet.” Said the Pelham senior, “I’ll be swimming mostly 100 and 200 Backstroke and hopfully making top eight for points toward winning.”

With one look at Schauer’s times from this season you can tell that she is an elite athlete, and more importantly you can see that she continued to improve throughout the year. With the dedication in and out of the pool that Schauer embodies it’s obvious that Bryant is getting one great athlete.
