I was doing some thinking earlier and realized that this year’s NCAAs is only a week away!  Even though I won’t be competing (because I’ve officially completed my eligibility), I’m looking forward to it nonetheless.  Looking back, last year’s NCAAs was the most exciting meet that I’ve competed in my career thus far. The meet even tops all of the big international competitions I’ve been to. There’s something about the arena and how intense it gets with five other top-collegiate teams going head-to-head, not to mention the ecstatic fans and all of your teammates mixed in there as well. The meet definitely gets rowdy!

It’ll be another close-battle  but I’m hoping to see Stanford defend their national title and become back-to-back champions. For more info on this year’s NCAAs, check here.

The team had a bit of a rough tough time at the conference championships, but it’s necessary to experience that kind of meet every once in a while.  It definitely gives you that extra fire to make sure you’re 100% prepared for the next one. Looking forward to seeing all the team’s A-games!
