It's a rather important weekend for us over at the aquatic department. Our women's team has left for the Bay Area to show Cal and Stanford who the best NCAA Division 1 swim team in the country truly are. This leaves the men's team here training and hitting the weight room every morning. What else is going on this weekend? The Superbowl of course! Our Women of Troy are unable to relax and watch the game since they are on the road. As an athlete at USC, we sacrifice our social lives in such a way to almost eliminate our social lives. In a nutshell, our team is our social life, our family, our friends, our therapist, you name it.
On the women's team, we have multiple Olympians such as Stina Gardell, Haley Anderson, Christel Simms, and more. They are not only the best of the best swimmers in the country, but they are the best of the best of the best representing multiple countries. Haley won the silver medal in the London Olympics for the 10K open water swim. However, what does that do to her social life? Social life as an Olympian and a USC Athlete is more of a chore than a casual lifestyle. Haley was forced to watch everything she said through social media about this weekend's meet up in the Bay Area. Why? Because she is considered to be a model citizen, student, and athlete. That's only a glimpse of what really happens over at the pool and the John McKay Center. Speaking of the McKay center, it's that time of the day again for Trojan Swimming Crossfit with Coach Kelly...Fight On!
