Nicole Srutowski had to make a sacrifice. e junior had to give up swim- ming within the last month in order to advance her career in nurs- ing. She left the team because she wanted to attend Lakeview College of Nursing in Danville and study nursing. “When I got interested in the nursing program, people in the pro- gram said I could do both swimming and the nursing program,” Srutows- ki said. “My choice was to take the 17 hours at Lakeview and 12 at East- ern. Now that I’m in nursing school I just realized there is no way I could do it.” Srutowski said Lakeview requires a certain number of credit hours for each of the four semesters a student is there, but she could not be both a full-time student at Lakeview and a full-time student at Eastern. All East- ern student-athletes are required to be full-time students and take a min- imum of 12 hours. Eastern head coach Ray Padovan MOLLY CLUTTER | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS recognized it is about being a student Junior Nicole Srutowski is a nursing student at Lakeview College of Nursing in Danville. Srutowski used to be a member of the Eastern women’s before being an athlete in his pro- swimming program, but because she is taking more courses at Lakeview and not enough at Eastern, she cannot be a student athlete. gram at Eastern.
