Lindsay Banning is no different.
A year ago, Banning completed a fantastic swimming career at Silver Creek High School and then enrolled at Colorado State University on a swimming scholarship.
This summer, shes running 25 to 30 miles per week, doing hurdle drills and losing weight in preparation for a track and field career with the Rams.
Its not necessarily that I didnt love swimming, because I did, she said. I really enjoyed it. I just found something that I enjoyed more.
For those who got to know Banning simply through the pages of the newspaper, thats a shocking switch. Her mother, Angela, was a tremendous swimmer at Longmont High School, and Lindsay followed in those footsteps. She was the Times-Call Girls Swimmer of the Year in 2007 and 2009.
