Felicia Anderson To Compete At USA Swimming Nationals

CORVALLIS – Felicia Anderson will compete at the USA Swimming Nationals at the William Woollett Aquatics Center in Irvine, Calif., this week.

She qualified with a strong performance last summer at the U.S. Open Swimming National Championships at the Nassau County Aquatic Center in New York.

Anderson will compete in the 50-meter backstroke on Friday and the 100-meter backstroke on Saturday. The top 24 in each event will advance to the finals, which will be held at 6 p.m. each evening. She will also time trial for the 200-meter backstroke on Thursday but is not eligible to advance to the finals.

"I am excited to see where we are at the end of the summer," Oregon State head coach Jennifer Buffin said. "As a program we are focused on preparing for top individual performances but building to make the program better next season."

Anderson, who is the granddaughter to OSU Hall of Fame basketball coach/player Jimmy Anderson, will be a junior at Oregon State this upcoming season. She has been the top scorer for Oregon State at the Pac-12 Championships the past two years and has qualified for several national meets, including the US Open, TYR Pro Swim Series and Nationals.

Her goal is qualifying for the 2020 US Olympic Trials. Qualifying period begins after this summer.
