A Panora native ended her collegiate swimming career with a pair of school records.

Panorama graduate Grace Nordquist recently finished her collegiate swimming career at Morningside college. After swimming on Caroll’s swim team in high school, she competed on Iowa Central Community College’s swimming team from 2016-2018 before making the leap into the NAIA level. During her two years at Morningside, she was a two-time NAIA National Championship Qualifier. During Nordquist’s senior season she qualified for six events at the national championships in March. While she won’t be suiting up for the Mustangs anymore, her name remains in the record book. Nordquist set multiple records in her two years at Morningside, including in the 200 meter butterfly event, which broke a 16-year-old mark.
