I cannot speak for how the team was treated outside of their hotel, but I can say that the Irene Lodge, where the team stayed, welcomed each US player, every staff member, and all coaching staff with open arms.

Northwest Conference Championships —one of which set a new PLU record for the 200 medley relay. We spoke with Hamilton about her success in the pool, and how she finds time for her sport as a senior nursing student. When did you start swimming?
