Wright’s Journey Through Swim Career Leads her to New Home

Since an early age Emma Wright knew she wanted to be a collegiate swimmer, and today she's just that. Wright is set for her senior season for the Washington State Swim team, however, the path Wright took she couldn't have planned.

Wright grew up in Hobart, Indiana and started swimming completely at just six years old, but when she got to high school it quickly became clear she had a future in the sport.

As a sophomore, Wright was named to the All-State First Team and the Girls Swimmer of the Year after winning state in the 100 freestyle.
