Sue Walsh: Pursuing Other Dreams
Posted Aug 4, 2016
In 1980, UNC swimmer Sue Walsh made the U.S. Olympic team that ultimately didn’t compete in Moscow because of America’s boycott of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Four years later, after she won 11 national titles to rank as one of UNC’s most decorated athletes, Walsh missed qualifying for the team by one-one hundredth of a second. She was devastated, but didn’t let it dictate her life.
