However, most of her competitors were swimming competitively at a much younger age than she was. “She came to me in the summer of her eighth grade year and she was kind of raw,” Oak Harbor coach Andrea Sorg said. “She really had not swum before seventh grade competitively. For her to have a career like this and not really compete until you are in seventh grade, that is pretty much unheard of. So, she trained hard, she was very coachable and listened, and she is just all a
