Best SMCM Sports Moment: Being the final leg of the 2016 200 medley relay at champs, a relay in which I went a personal best (23.8) in my 50 free and we finished ahead of a seed in a close second. It was the first time that two members of the relay team had made All-CAC and we were all so proud of how well we had performed.
