"Kathleen is an exceptional student, athlete and person. She is the girl everyone would love to coach. She has steadily improved over the last two years to become one of the USAÕs premier swimmers. Although her primary event is the 200 Fly, her versatility in regard to strokes and distances is outstanding. Coming from one of the top clubs in the country, Swim Atlanta, I am confident Kathleen has the will and ability to continue to improve. Her international experience this summer, along with returning to win her first U.S. National title, indicates to me she has the poise and the drive to fight to be the best in the world." - Kim Brackin
