With college commitment deadlines looming, Libby Bakker didn’t talk about it much with fellow Aquajets swim team members Drew Ploof and Annabelle Wentzel, but still checked in about the possibility of going to college together.

In the end, all three decided to become members of Missouri’s swim and dive team.

“Once I committed, I knew [Ploof] was talking [to coaches] there, and I was like, ‘So are you gonna go?’” she said with a laugh.

Now that everyone has committed, Bakker, who attends Maple Grove, is excited to have a built-in Minnesota community in Missouri.
