Roses was this summer’s USA Swimming National Champion in the 200 long course meter breaststroke with a 2:31.77, and is also on the Junior National Team with a second entry in the 100 breaststroke, where she was a 1:09.5 this summer in meters.
“For me, the decision came down to how comfortable I felt with the team, coaches, academics and campus,” Roses said of her decision.
