Favorite sports memory during career?
"My favorite memory during my swim career was the 400 medley relay at the 2019 Liberty League Championship. After prelims we were seeded fourth overall, but came back to win the whole event at finals by over two seconds. Not only did we win the event, but we broke the school record, Liberty League record and achieved an NCAA-cut. Even though these are amazing achievements, my teammates are what made this moment special. It was so rewarding to see our hard work pay off and the excitement everyone shared." - March 2020
