What is your most memorable swimming/diving moment? Why?
Sophomore year at our championships I had to time trial 100 fly to get a cut for NCS. I was sick, and had to swim alone in the pool, but everyone lined the pool to cheer me on. It was deafening loud, and I ended up getting a best time and the NCS cut.
Describe yourself as an athlete and as a student.
I work extremly hard in both academics and swimming because I'm passionate about both. Swimming allows me to be competative and do what I love, and school allows me to learn about the world and all the amazing things in it.
What piece of coaching and/or personal advice has stuck with you over the years?
