Some day, young Kiwi swimming star Annabelle Paterson wants to represent her country at the Olympic Games. The Meadowbank teen, who trains with Auckland's United Swimming Club and High Performance Swimming New Zealand, is the only international member of the elite squad. She's also one of a record number of young Kiwis who have this year gained places in Ivy League universities. "I didn't know if I was going to get in because it wasn't based on my swimming results, but my academic performance." She's unsure what career path she's going to follow, but hopes to study engineering or architecture in her second year.
