🔼 Coming Together. Three of the most decorated athletes in Virginia and women’s swimming history, Kate Douglass, Alex Walsh, and Gretchen Walsh, announced yesterday a collective commitment to establish the Olympic Endowed Scholarship for Women’s Swimming Fund, a new scholarship that will benefit a student-athlete on the University of Virginia’s women’s swimming team.
