Congrats champion for another great weekend of swimming.
Very well-spoken and poised girl to listen in interview.
What a genuine person and as we can hear, the makings of a true NT leader.. The best part of that interview for me is the props she gives to her girls on that relay and her desire to be a part of the team. Fantastic that she has the wherewithal to include them all in a shout out the interview, congrats to all four girls on that relay!
She says she is “looking forward to training.” Wow. Mercy this young lady is unstoppable.
