"I love it here," Calfee said. "I love how people are so enthusiastic about their academic and extracurricular activities."
Calfee competes in the 100-meter breaststroke, 200-meter individual medley and the 100-meter butterfly for Harvard.
She is looking forward to a competitive season this year and thinks that her team's strength is its depth of talent.
"It is pretty unusual," Calfee said. "Most teams have one of two stars, but we have 43 fantastic athletes."
And after beating Brown on Friday in a dual meet, she is even more excited.
"The league title that we've been eyeing for so long is definitely within shooting distance," Calfee said.
But Calfee will have to cheer her teammates on for at least a few more weeks, as she recovers from pneumonia. Considering all she has gone through to get to this point, Calfee shouldn't have a problem overcoming this latest obstacle.
