Who does Wirrell think she is, anyway?
Some kind of hotshot double- defending NCAA fly champ/American- NCAA record- holder in the 100 fly too!
Oh she is!
Goodness gracious sakes alive!
Keep,it up, Kelsi, and that trip to Rio you’re hoping to bake next summer just may become a reality.
‘Course even if you make the U.S. team that Swedish miss’ll be awfully tough to beat.
But then who wudda think Wil Licon would have won the 200 breast AND the 400 IM — the latter over the double-defending NCAA champ AR- holder — @ last season’s NCAAs either.
Andrea Cottrell’s looking tough too. Watch out, Kierra Smith.
