When most high school seniors are cruising through their final days of class with an eye on the prom and grad parties, Samantha Seliger-Swenson already was in college preparing to be the University of Minnesota volleyball team's starting setter.
The decision to graduate high school early and enroll at the U in January wasn't difficult for the prep All-American from Hopkins High School.
"I decided early on that I wanted to get here early and have a chance to train with the team for that extra time in the spring," said Seliger-Swenson, the Big Ten freshman of the week the past two weeks.
