Great Job, raccoon girl!
Well done Laura. RIO 2016!
OMG she’s so cute.
Some girls (Missy, Bootsma, Pelton, Runge, Smoliga….) move backward in long course since they swim in college.
It’s the contrary for girls like Emma Reaney, Breeja Larson or Megan Romano who really struggle since they’ve left college. And Laura has explained the possible reasons.
Love her. Became a fan a couple of years ago when her personality really came through on one of the UT videos posted (I think) on this site.
Thank you. It was interesting to hear from someone who is fast and competitive — but not one of the “stars” who has alot of sponsorship. The pressures, changes in training, etc were all very interesting. And thank you to Laura for her openness.
