Grace Nuhfer, was a junior swimmer at the University of Akron and has overcome significant physical challenges to compete at the collegiate and international level. She is legally blind due to Brittle Cornea Syndrome, a rare form of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. The eye doctor said "no balls, bats, or rackets, and my connective tissue disorder made the other options, like dance and track, too painful to continue. There have been countless unexpected injuries, sprains, and random joint pain alongside numerous tests for glasses and hearing aids.
In 2023, Nuhfer represented the United States at the Parapan American Games in Santiago, Chile, after qualifying and breaking the American record in the 200-meter Butterfly.
Grace is the USA Paralympic women's 100m butterfly S13 silver medalist with her eyes now set on the LA 2028 games!
