17-year-old Alex Shackell just finished what has been, in her words, the best month of her life.
This whirlwind started when she made the US Olympic team alongside her brother, Aaron Shackell, in their hometown of Indianapolis. After experiencing training camp in beautiful Croatia with Team USA, Shackell headed to Paris, where she made her first individual Olympic final and swam on two relays that earned her gold and silver medals.
Once the Games concluded, Shackell returned home to spend time with family, be around her friends, and relax for a week before embarking on her next big chapter: senior year of high school.
