Not many ppl can say they raced one to the best swimmers in the world.

And she’s a senior in high school? And she wants to swim on her high school swim team? How ridiculous! No… it is not like going to your kid’s field day and challenging them in the 50 yard dash. She is the same age as the other competitors, and has every right to swim for her team. She is just better. Shouldn’t the state champ be the BEST high school swimmer in the state? Should we ban high school athletes who are so good that the other competitors have no chance? Doesn’t that go against the spirit of athletic competition where the person who has the most talent, ability, drive, and puts in the most effort is rewarded? Or should we just hand out ribbons to everyone?

If you can’t beat her you shouldn’t be state champ.
