Leah Smith is one of America’s rising distance stars. After finishing second to Katie Ledecky in the 400 and 800 meter freestyles, as well as taking third in the 200 meter freestyle, she has qualified for her first Olympic Team. Although this is her first Olympics, Smith is no stranger to swimming success.
As a rising senior at the University of Virginia, Smith has won 4 individual NCAA titles and is an 11-time All-American. She also has a wealth of national and international experience, having represented the U.S. on numerous international teams. This past year, she won gold as part of the 4×200 meter freestyle relay at the World Championships in Kazan, as well as 2 golds at the World University Games (400 meter freestyle, 4×200 meter freestyle relay). In addition to her recent accomplishments, here are some reasons to cheer for her in Rio:
