TTM: Missy Franklin

Missy Franklin - 59

The last return Sunday was from Missy Franklin. This one I was really excited to get back. Missy is such a charming young athlete that was very easy to start following.

She previously had played for Standford University before playing professionally for FC Gold Pride, Boston Breakers, and currently Sky Blue FC.
