Are There Any Special Memories You Would Like To Share? My most special memory was when i swam the 200 fly for the first time when I was 10 years old at a meet.  I had to swim with the 15-18 girls and I was so nervous.  I did the whole 200 fly, legal, and even beat one 15-18 girl! I was so excited!

I Hope My Legacy Will Be: I hope I will be remembered as an individual who always tries to do her best and get others to do their best.

Most Embarrassing Moment As A Swimmer:  It was the second time swimming the 200 Free when I was really young at a meet in Delaware. I got out of the pool after my swim and was really proud of myself because I got first place.  Little did I know that I got DQ because I only swam a 150 Free instead of a 200. So much for that first place ribbon!

Favorite Practice Set Of All Time:  I was in a swim group called Jr A1 at Jersey Wahoos when I was 10 or 11 years old. Every Friday night was called fly night where all we did was swim fly. I think that year I had the best attendance for Friday night practices.

The Most Important Thing I've Learned Through Swimming For My Team:  You can accomplish anything when you are really determined. When you are being negative it doesn't just effect you, but it also effects those individuals around you.

Memorable Coaches' Phrase(s) Or Moment(s):

Teammate You Learned The Most From:  I learned the most from my little sister Danielle. Although she is younger than me, Danielle is one of my role models and I really look up to her.  Her hard work really shows inside and outside of the pool.  She also helps me to improve my strokes and she always tells me what I need to work on after every swim.
