Freeman is in her 30th year as the head coach for the Golden Gopher women's swimming and diving team. Freeman is a four-time recipient of the Big Ten Coach of the Year, most recently in 1999. She coached the Golden Gophers to back-to-back Big Ten championships in 1999 and 2000. During her tenure, Freeman has coached two national champions, over 140 Big Ten champions and 170 All-Americans.
Freeman is the second person from the Gopher women's swim team to represent the United States at the World University Games. First-team All-American Keri Hehn will compete in the 200 breaststroke for the U.S.
"I'm very excited to be a member of the coaching staff for the World Games, " Freeman said. "It's an honor for me to represent the United States and the University of Minnesota. I'm excited to go along with Keri and it should be fun."
