Jennings on Maier:"Emily comes from a solid age group background and is talented in a long list of events. We expect that in a college setting, she will be able to focus on her backstroke a little more and really help us out in both the 100 and 200. Her versatility will also make her a valuable dual meet player because we can put her just about anywhere. I expect to see good things happening for her in the IM events."
