Greenwood’s Nuhfer wins silver
Grace Nuhfer, a 2021 Greenwood graduate who now swims at the University of Akron, earned a silver medal in the 100-meter butterfly Thursday in her first event at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. Nuhfer was the top seed coming out of the preliminaries with a time of 1:03.95 and came back with a 1:03.88 in the final, but she finished just behind reigning Paralympic champion and world record holder Carlotta Gilli of Italy, who hit the wall in 1:03.27.
Nuhfer will swim four individual events in Paris, with her last one the 200 individual medley on Tuesday. Look for more on her first Paralympic experience in the Daily Journal next week.
