Saw the girl who won the 100 check on her as she got out of the pool. The sportsmanship is so beautiful.

Redefining a “Dirty Double”. I am no longer impressed with a 100 Fly and 100 Back in the same sesh.

Love this! I really appreciate athletes that can excel in more than one sport. I coach high school swim and will work with students who want to do indoor track or other sports during our season (indoor track is usually the easiest to work things out with). As long as the communication is there it can work out (for example, I had a senior this past season who would come to swim practice on Tuesday/Thursday/Fridays- our practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays were after her track practices and track didn’t practice on Fridays).
