Likins in Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd" This Week

Molly Likins
Sports Illustrated's October 21 "Faces in the Crowd."

The College of Wooster's Molly Likins is in the October 21-28 issue of Sports Illustrated's "Faces in the Crowd" in recognition of the swimming and diving standout earning a pair of silver medals at the World Deaf Swimming Championships in August.

Likins touched second in the 50-meter breaststroke, during which she lowered her USA deaf record to 33.55. She later doubled up on silver medals with the second-place time of 1:14.36 in the 100-meter breaststroke.

Likins is now a holder of seven national records (four long-course meters and three yards) for events swam at national and international deaf competitions. She has a hearing impairment which leaves her completely deaf without her cochlear implants.

Wooster's had a number of student-athletes featured in "Faces in the Crowd" over the years, with the most recent being baseball All-American Jamie Lackner in 2016.
