Missy Franklin had a jam packed weekend at Sectionals in Federal Way Washington. She was just off a couple American Records, but her most memorable swim might surprise you. What shouldn’t surprise you at this point is Missy’s contagiously energetic personality which was on display all weekend long. Not only in her swims but while signing autographs and taking pictures for fans and other swimmers. Her presence at a meet like this is a gift to everyone in attendance at the KING County Aquatic Center. Every time she hit the water she was an example of a what a racer should be, and every time she was asked to sign an autograph or take a picture she was everything we want our super stars to be.
Sitting down with Garrett McCaffrey, Missy talks about her final sectionals meet before college. Her emotions, her highlights, and her plan going forward into what should be another fantastic summer.
Congrats Missy! Great meet. And yes an interview with her is never boring. It’s the same thing with Miss Beisel too.
She is one of the best interviewees ever, so poised and humble!!! Swimming is blessed to have her in our sport!
