Cooper Rivers came to Long Island from Lake Elsinore, Calif. having never seen the Adelphi University campus. The gamble has turned into a massive payoff for the NE10's top swimmer in the 100m and 200m freestyle and the 200m and 400m individual medley this season.
Rivers joins NE10 NOW: The Podcast to discuss how, exactly, he arrived at Adelphi, what it's like to swim on the same team as his younger brother, why the IM is his specialty, his future as a doctor and more.
NE10 NOW: The Podcast chats regularly with student-athletes across the Northeast-10 about their success on and off the field, giving fans a chance to get to know the people behind the jersey numbers, stats and starting lineups. New episodes drop on YouTube, featured on NE10 social media channels and on Northeast10.org.
