Naval Academy senior swimmer Charlotte Meyer carries a lot of history and sentiment on her shoulders next week when she travels to the U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska.
Meyer, a senior from Bethesda, is the daughter of two Naval Academy graduates, Robin and Drew Meyer, and has two older brothers who are Naval Academy grads and now serve as Navy pilots, 28-year-old Adam and 24-year-old Mark.
Her parents met at the academy, and her mother Robin was in the first class at the academy that included women.
"You might say I followed them into the Naval Academy," said Meyer, who will be making her second appearance in the Olympic Trials, having also competed in 2012.
