2015 has been a huge year for Nika Blank. In February, she won the 50 yard freestyle at the Easterns Championships by .27 seconds. In May, at the Charlotte Arena Pro Swim Series, she made her debut as a first-time Olympic trials qualifier in the same event with a 26.16. In August, she lowered that time by .33 seconds to 25.83 at Junior Nationals and started dominating record boards across New Jersey. Then, just two weeks ago, she verbally announced her commitment to the Florida State University (Class of 2020).
Currently a senior at Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey, Blank has been, and continues to be, an invaluable part of the athletic and academic culture. She is captain of the swim team, a MAPL All-Academic Team member, holder of five Peddie records (15-18 and Senior 50 LCM freestyle and 200 LCM freestyle relay, and 15-18 100 LCM freestyle) and owner of two New Jersey State records (15-18 and Senior 50 LCM freestyle). At 16, Blank already has a considerable impact on the swimming world. With this forward momentum, there’s no telling what her future at FSU may bring. We discussed her views on the past few months, as well as what lies ahead.
