Annie Wolpers signs athletic swimming scholarship

Cape Central swimmer Annie Wolpers will be attending Stephens College in Columbia this fall, thanks to an athletic scholarship that she accepted recently. Wolpers accumulated an impressive swimming record during her high school career, including being named MVP at the Show Me Conference last year, after cruising to two first-place finishes, despite suffering injuries and two shoulder surgeries. Wolpers has been swimming since she was 6 years old.
