CHENEY – When May Peterson moved to Cheney in August of 2019, the swimmer didn’t imagine she would be offered a scholarship and chance to swim for Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.

Peterson and her parents, Vic and Mariko Peterson, moved here from Okinawa, Japan, as her father transferred to Fairchild Air Force Base and retired earlier this year

Peterson said she is only a junior, so she still must complete her senior year in high school before officially signing on.

She is also the third member of the Cheney girls swim team to be offered a collegiate scholarship this year....
