Most memorable swimming moment: My most memorable swimming moment was taking more than a second off my 50 lcm freestyle at junior nationals. It wasn't just the time drop that had me so happy, but the fact that my coach didn't even have anything to say to me; he just stood there laughing in amazement.

What are you looking forward to at Arizona?: I'm looking forward to all the new memories I will make in Arizona. I am really excited to be a part of a more individualized sprinting group and to be able to improve so many aspects of my swimming with the team.
