Four years ago this week we did a home visit with a good swimmer from Waukesha, WI who loved Christmas more than life itself. Her family treated us to a full Wisconsin meal with brats, sauerkraut and MI blueberries while we talked about her swimming goals - "making NCAAs one day - that would be pretty cool". Flash forward 4 years and this same girl, now a great swimmer, who still loves Christmas has just finished 6th (800FR) and 4th (400FR) at Nationals hopefully securing a spot on the World University Games Roster and the National Team. Congrats Kaersten, Boilermaker Nation is so proud of you! #boilerUP #howmanydaystillXMAS #periwinkles #brats #cheeseheadbybirth #boilermaker4life #bigdreams #rainbowracers #fanclub #makingtearshappen #somuchmoretocome #wiscowonder #mustbethecanolis #thatsmynailgirl #hardworkpaysoff
