The Olympian in the 200 back also rediscovered the ability to race without putting so much expectation on herself, which netted her positive results.

NC State is backstroke university. No wonder Daniel Diehl committed there!

Rhyan making the team was one of the bigger surprises for me at this meet after her NCAA swims this year. Good for her for taking the risk at a fresh start!
