USC standout freshman Minna Abraham competed at the Canet stop in Mare Nostrum, clocking a 1:58.46 in the 200 free to finish 2nd. She is currently chasing the Olympic ‘A’ cut in the event, hoping to make a bid for Hungary’s squad in Paris.
Abraham has been seeing improvements this summer and says the combination of her coaches at USC and in Hungary has helped her growth in the pool.
One more second to go.
A qualifying time is 1:57.26
Her PB is 1:57.96, so technically, 0.7 seconds to go.
She has an interesting accent – pretty American but you can hear the Hungarian if you listen for it. Does anyone know where she grew up? How much time she spent in Hungary, the US, other countries?
she sounds like the people I know who went to international schools so that’s what I’d guess
Yes, she told me after this interview she grew up in Doha and then went to high school in Hungary
Haha came here to say that.
Who knows, maybe the two do compliment each other. I’d like to hear what they have to say.
“What a nice, compact distance you have, short course!”
Good luck, Minna!!
