Kiera Molloy
Kiera was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina. Growing up she swam for the YMCA of the Triangle Area (YOTA), and being close to Duke she was raised a die hard Duke fan going to basketball and football games with her family. During her high school career, Kiera swam for Wakefield High School, winning their conference meet twice in the 200 IM. She also led her team to finish in the top three during her sophomore year, and was later captain for her junior and senior year before heading to Duke University. Kiera works incredibly hard at school training for the 200 fly, IM and distance free, but every single day she can be found with a smile on her face.

As a member of YOTA, Kiera qualified for both junior and senior nationals. Under her coach Chad Onken, she was also a two time North Carolina open water state champion and a member of the state record holding 800 free relay.
