KATELYN BLATTNER
Katelyn Blattner of the Wichita Aqua Shocks (perhaps the best name for a swim club) is a rangy freestyler who can sprint as well as put up strong mid-distance swims.
I chose the University of Wyoming because it felt like it will be my home away from home. The wide variety of majors, AWESOME team, AMAZING coaches, and beautiful campus were the key factors in making my decision. I can’t wait to call myself a Cowgirl!! GO POKES :)))

WHERE THEY FIT IN
Both Blattner and Limon are strong in the freestyle, and they would’ve each qualified for the 500 free C final at the 2016 Mountain West Championships. Limon will need to get closer to the 17-minute mark to score in the mile, though she’d have made the 200 fly C final with her lifetime best in that event.
Meanwhile, Blattner is at C final scoring level in her 200 free and is within striking range of scoring in the 200 back C final. Additionally, with her 200 free strength, Blattner is quick enough to make an immediate bid for a spot on Wyoming’s 800 free relay.
