Missy Franklin Will Swim For Regis Jesuit High School: Will Attend University of California In The Fall, No Media Allowed To Watch?

Gold medalist Missy Franklin may be taking her talents to her high school. The 17-year-old has decided to sign up for her high school swim team in Aurora, Colorado.

Although, some say that she is too advance for the high school swim team, some see it disrespectful if she doesn't return to the Regis Jesuit High School team. Earlier this month Franklin said, "The hardest part for me is I really have no gut feeling on this. It's so hard when I have so many people who are really wanting me to do it and so supportive, and I have other people who are saying it's not fair, saying: 'Why would you do this to other girls?' And I feel so bad thinking that they would think that. It's hard, because I feel like no matter what I do, it's going to be opposed in some way or form."

Franklin plans to attending University of California after her last year of high school. Regis Jesuit's athletic director supports the Olympian dedication to her high school team and says, "She's doing this because of her team, her school and the other girls who swim in high school," he told the Denver Post. "And she wants to. They all want her there."

Though, Franklin's appearances will be limited, media disruption will be minimized while she practices and competes Koslosky said, "It will be limited," he added. "Last year, there were all sorts of cameras everywhere ... Missy was concerned about it, and I think that's what made her struggle in making this decision. But she said she wanted to pass on turning pro and attend college, and she signed to do that, and she said she wants to swim with her teammates and her school. I think it's great."
