Undefeated Florida Southern Swimmer to Appear in Sports Illustrated

LAKELAND, Fla. (Jan. 27, 2011) – A Florida Southern College student and native of Brockton, Mass., will appear in the Jan. 31 edition of Sports Illustrated.

Mary O’Sullivan, a senior swimmer at the College, will be featured in the magazine’s Faces In The Crowd Section, on page 22.

She was chosen for the magazine because of her performance at the Nova Southeastern Invitational in December. In her first meet for Florida Southern, she won five individual events; set school records with NCAA-II automatic qualifying times in four of those events; and swam leadoff in five winning relay teams that each set a school record.

For the season, she has completed in three meets and is undefeated in 15 events (nine individual events and six relays).

O’Sullivan and the Florida Southern Moccasins conclude their season Saturday at home against Daytona State College.
