Samantha at high school state 2014

This picture was in the Deseret News. She was on the podium for the 500 free for 2nd place. She had a great swim. She came from about 5 seconds behind and chased down her friend/HAST teammate Sam Patterson, almost catching her. Another 15 yards would have changed the outcome but Patterson was aggressive from the start and it paid off. Fun to be 1, 2 on the podium. She was 5th in the 100 breast but it was an okay swim. maybe the 500 free and 100 breast are too close together. Still, it was an exciting meet. The HAST kids are divided among different high schools, but they still support one another. They swam so great and had huge time drops. Their coach, Stan Crump, did an amazing job with them this year! He has really brought the team together.
