After the Conference Championship, Monahan will join a club swim team in order to work on her times for the Olympic trials. Her goal every year, but especially this season, has been to travel to an away meet and break a pool record. With that mindset, she’s able to push herself just a little quicker than many other swimmers, which gives her the confidence that she can get under the qualifying times that the United States Olympic team has set, hoping to make it to Brazil this upcoming summer.
“This year is an Olympic year. I’ve always wanted to go to Olympic Trials,” Monahan said.
