Walden Grove High School swimmer Trey Cashion photographed for the fall 2013 High School All-Stars on Dec. 9, 2013, in the Star studio.

UA freshman swimmerΒ Trey Cashion, a two-time state champion at Walden Grove High School, did not swim in the UA’s opener against Wisconsin. He was snared in the NCAA red-tape machine. Because Walden Grove is a relatively new high school, the NCAA’s vast compliance office had not fully vetted WGHS’ academic courses, and thus Cashion had not been cleared to swim. Not that he’s academically marginal; Cashion is an engineering major.
