A Christmas Surprise: Swimming Scholarship in Honor of Former Coach Rich DeSelm

Posted Dec 25, 2021
The DeSelm family were opening their presents around the Christmas tree last year when former UNC Swimming and Diving Coach Rich DeSelm was told by his wife, Tracy, and his two children, Grant and Claire, that they had one more surprise gift for him. But it wasn’t your typical Christmas gift. Instead, Tracy, Grant and Claire would be endowing a scholarship at Carolina. (Rams Club)
