Hubert West: "I Didn't Know It Was Possible"
Posted Feb 18, 2026
Hubert West still remembers the bleachers in Salisbury. "I was at a meet, and I saw my guidance counselor sitting in the bleachers beside a doctor that was a Carolina alumni." West walked up the stands. The man looked at him and asked a question. "He said to me, 'I hear you like Carolina.' And I said, 'Yes, sir, I do.'" What happened next changed his life.
