My Carolina Experience: Sue Walsh

Posted Jan 7, 2015
Sue Walsh came to UNC after already having made an Olympic team in 1980 for the 200-meter backstroke. Although the U.S. boycotted those games in the Soviet Union she continued to train and improve in hopes of securing her spot on the 1984 Olympic team. During that time Walsh became one of the greatest swimmers, not only in UNC’s history, but also in the history of the NCAA. (GoHeels.com)
