Summary
Erica Pearson, the coach for the women's swim team at Northern Michigan University needs a replacement swimmer. She looks around the Peif and sees Crystal teaching Randy how to roll a kayak. Crystal does a lap to loosen up while Randy gets set up to practice his sweep roll. Erica Pearson is impressed by Crystal's speed. After Crystal is finished helping Randy, Erica asks Crystal to help by being a substitute swimmer.
Crystal swims the third leg of the 400 relay, the 1600 individual, and the anchor leg of the 1600 relay.
During the 1600 individual Dennis Shaffer, the sports reporter for the Mining Journal newspaper tells Erica more about Crystal. After the meet Crystal blows off Erica's attempt to recruit her for the swim team.
The story closes with Erica talking to Dennis Shaffer and, off the record, describing Crystal as the Lone Ranger.
