CHICAGO – Life-changing news rarely arrives on schedule. Friday, July 8 was marked in Naomy Grand’Pierre‘s calendar – the day when she would find out if her Olympic dream would be fulfilled. Instead, she got an unexpected phone call from her mother on Tuesday, July 5 with the thrilling news: she had made it.

Grand’Pierre – a sophomore swimmer at the University of Chicago – officially qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. She will be the first-ever Olympic female swimming representative for the country of Haiti.

The big moment was a lifetime in the making. Grand’Pierre spent 10 years swimming with the City of Atlanta Dolphins before heading off to college at UChicago. A spot in the Olympics was a childhood dream. She officially began acting on her ambition in November 2015 and commenced serious training to represent her parents’ home country of Haiti shortly thereafter. Grand’Pierre logged hours upon hours of laps in the Myers-McLoraine Pool under the watchful eyes of her collegiate coaches on the Hyde Park campus.
