Phyllis Reffo, nearly 50 years old, walks onto a college team. (That must be some kind of record? Can anyone confirm it?) The former model made a career in finance before running her own Pilates studio, and now she wants to compete against young women half her age.
Phyllis, who has two years of eligibility, will be competing in the 200 individual medley and the 100 breaststroke.
See Phyllis' team photo and bio at Pepperdine.
Congrats Phyllis! Your positive journey is inspiring news for the swimming family.
Welcome back to college swimming!
Good for her!
Get after 'em Phyllis!
