Florida to grant scholarship for girl swimmer despite team limits
Catie Ball, 17, holder of two women's world breast stroke records, will receive an Athletic Association grant at the University of Florida though ineligibility for SEC or NCAA events bars her from the all male Gators swimming team. Athletic Director Ray Graves plans fundraising to support Ball as a goodwill ambassador regardless of future competition. Ball, who won Olympic relay gold in 1968 and later illness, contemplates life beyond rigorous training and says she would not easily picture competing against men.
