How They Train: Elise Gibbs
Meet Elise Gibbs, a 6-foot senior chemistry major and CSCAA Academic All-American from Manteo, N.C. “Coming out of high school, Elise was a solid swimmer—top-four finishes in the 100 breast at her North Carolina state championships (in each of her four years of high school),” says her NYU coach, Trevor Miele. “She has since transformed herself into a national- level swimmer through hard work and determination.”
