When I was little I used to doodle my signature in a million different ways, but I would never forget to write USA underneath. I used to dream of taking photos with my swimming idols and having them sign their autographs.
Fast forward to October 15th this year when my head coach Augie Busch approached me at practice and told me I would be on the roster for Duel in the Pool. I, at first, could not believe what he was saying. I was selected for Duel in the Pool? I was going to represent Team USA in December!
The first Duel in the Pool was in Indianapolis, Indiana in 2003 with the Americans vs. the Australians. Duel in the Pool this year was brought back to Indy for the first time in 12 years. For me, the Natatorium at Indy is like a home pool. I have competed there for NCAA Championships, USA Sectional meets, and other club meets.
