Personal
Olivia is a particularly talented musician. She is a member of the on-campus A Capella group the Colbyettes and she writes and plays folk songs on her guitar. She is confident that if Taylor Swift ever challenged her to duathlon that featured both distance freestyle and singing/song writing, she would win. Her twin brother also is a swimmer in the NESCAC conference, competing for Middlebury College.
