Indiana Freshman Liberty Clark has officially wrapped a historic freshman season, etching her name in the history books many times over. After notching Top-6 swims in all of her events and helping IU to a 7th-place team finish, Clark reflected on her first season swimming full-time. In high school, Clark swam and played volleyball, but has seen massive time drops this year after focusing on swimming.
Interesting to note that she is on the National Junior Team – so not a unknown talent. Previous performances much faster in LCM versus SCY relatively
Her LCM time is more important
Is this the single biggest improvement that any swimmer has ever had in their first year of college? Let’s say out of anyone that made an NCAA final their freshman year since I’m sure there’s swimmers that drop from like a 2:20 to 2:00 or something like that
brooks curry is up there, 44.5 to 41.8 in the 100 free, 1:38 to 1:32 in the 200 free, and 20.6 to 19.3 in the 50 free which I think are bigger drops than Liberty in an absolute scale, but her times are also definitely more elite
Breeja Larson!
Wowwwww her trajectory is looking real good. Best of luck to her
Does she know that her mom was in Playb0y?
Nothing wrong with a hot mom #elitegenetics
How do you know her mom was in Playb0y?
I don’t think that ankle injury affected her… 😂
She’s one to watch for to make future international teams
Interesting that the two (arguably) biggest improvers this whole season, Liberty Clark and Kennedi Dobson, were both two-sport athletes in high school.
Dobson was a two sport athlete? I did not know that
