Missy Franklin, the American teenage swimmer who won big at London's Olympic Games will finish out her career as a high school swimmer at an event this weekend, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Naturally, tickets for Franklin's last high school state meet have sold, as the stadium only seats 900 and 90 percent of the seats are allocated to schools.
Franklin, who is a senior at Regis Jesuit High in Aurora, Colo. won four gold medals at the 2012 Olympics, two individual and two from relays, as well as a bronze medal for another relay.
The decision to continue to compete at the high school level even though she's an Olympic medalist was Franklin's.
Franklin will bring her powerful strokes to Berkeley next year, where she'll swim for the California school.
