“Lauren is one of the most dedicated swimmers and hardest workers I’ve ever met. She is a confident athlete and loves to step up and race in practice and in meets. Lauren consistently rises to any challenge she encounters, whether it’s in the pool or the classroom. She is a genuine and devoted leader and teammate, and has made nothing but a positive impact on my life, and the lives of those around her. She is so coachable, and I’ve enjoyed every minute working with her.”
