Swimmer Signs With Nationally Ranked Nebraska

Senior Brittany Legal has signed a national letter of intent to swim at Division I Nebraska. She nearly reached the pinnacle of swimming when she qualified for the 2004 Canadian Olympic trials in the 400- and 800-meter freestyle, reaching the finals of the 800. Legal was the runner-up in the 500-yard freestyle at the Florida state meet as a sophomore before moving to Ohio where she placed third in the 500-free while helping Hawken to the state title. She is also a Junior National and U.S. Open Qualifier. Much of her success has come from her trainers that include Bud McAllister, Peter Banks and Jerry Holtrey. Under their instruction, she has swam with Olympic gold medalists Janet Evans, Brooke Bennett and Diana Munz.
