In the lifespan of every organization, leaders come and go, and for the men's swimming and diving team, senior Cole Smith finished the last swim at Lewellen Aquatic Center of his career on Feb. 13.
Smith, a 22-year-old senior captain of the Ball State men’s swimming and diving team, is the only swimmer who was celebrated during the team's Senior Day, since he was the only senior on the roster.
There is always a moment where an athlete is forced to give up competing, and outside of the Mid-American Conference championships, Smith's career is almost at an end.
