Last November, the Desert Mountain High School junior competed at the Arizona Division II Girls State Championships. She swam the 200 free and the 100 fly, placing within the top 8 in prelims to earn a spot in finals for each. Her prelims 200 free time of 1:55.75 placed her 7th while her 58.46 100 fly seeded her 8th. She dropped 2.09 seconds in the finals heats of the 200 free, moving up to 4th, and she went a 57.76 in the 100 fly, remaining 8th. Both were personal best times for Outtrim.
