Before joining the University of Toronto Varsity Blues this summer, Amelia Narduzzo had set aside competitive swimming for years so she could better navigate her undergraduate studies. "For three to four years in total I stopped for a multitude of reasons," says Narduzzo, who graduated from Western University this past spring and is now studying for her master's degree in teaching at U of T's Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). Although Narduzzo initially struggled as a student athlete, she found her way back to the sport she loved before graduating - and will now swim for the Blues in the 800-metre freestyle this year.
