Money may determine Missy Franklin’s future

Olympics » Swimmer leans toward college, but may face million dollar decision.

< Previous Page

If Franklin went to college but turned professional, she would work out largely alone away from the college team which trains specifically for certain meets.

She enjoyed swimming for Regis Jesuit High as a junior and may swim for it again next season. Everything is magnified at the Olympics and to the Franklins, so is their daughter’s future.

"Dick and I don’t know what this means yet," said D.A., her mother. "We have no idea what it means in terms of anything. We’re new at this. We’ll have to take a look at things and as I mentioned, the big thing is Missy makes an educated decision. Whatever we figure out, we’ll share with her and figure out what’s best for her."
