FOCUS ON BUTTERFLY
She decided to focus on butterfly during her first year at university. "I started getting better at butterfly in high school. Never really chose fly over freestyle. Always did fly/free, even backstroke in high school, too. It actually wasn't until my freshman year of college when my coaches were fighting if I should do the 200 free or 100 fly for the second day of our conference meet. The first night of the conference meet was the 800 free relay. And they put me on it. And I took it out so hard I almost didn't finish. That kind of made the decision for me that I did the 100 fly on the second day of the meet and I dropped over a second and a half in that. So that was how the decision came for butterfly for me."
