A Parkway North swimmer who could be a factor for Team USA in 2016 put her recruiting process behind her just in time for the Suburban South Conference Girls Championship.

Heather Lundstrom celebrated her official letter of intent Wednesday to get in the pool for the Tennessee Volunteers when her college career begins next year.

Lundstrom holds 10 school records and was named Swimmer of the Meet at the state championships last year.
