 * Delete The first does not provide indepth coverage. The other two are no better than press releases, from publications too highly connected to the college she competes for to show secondary indepdent coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:44, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep USC PICKS UP BIG TRANSFER FROM SDSU ALL-AMERICAN SPRINTER ANIKA APOSTALON, Swim Swam and Swimming World Magazine is an example of in-depth coverage. Seeing lots of Google News results including ESPN, more Swimming World Magazine, Swim Swam beyond primary sources. Article could use expansion, not deletion per WP:ATD. Meets WP:SPORTCRIT.

 * Delete - Nothing in-depth to establish notability. Vile Jeremy (talk) 21:55, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: Article needs expansion, but that's quality, not notability.  She is an NCAA champion, highest national level in the sport, additional sources have been found.  Meets GNG.   Montanabw (talk) 10:35, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
