Acalanes-Lafayette – Swimming – Senior (2015 grad)

The Harvard-bound Usinger closed out her standout career at Acalanes as a record-setting double-winner at the North Coast Section Championships. She set an NCS-record in the 100-yard butterfly when she won her qualifying heat with a time of 52.43 seconds. She came back the next day and won the event along with the 200-yard freestyle. She carried that momentum into her club season with the Walnut Creek Aquabears, winning three golds at the Pacific Swimming Speedo Adam Szmidt Long Course Junior Olympics in Concord on July 10-12. She took golds in the 200-meter individual medley, and the 100- and 200-meter butterfly events. She’ll focus on both butterfly events at the USA Swimming Speedo Junior Nationals (July 30-Aug. 3) and Phillips 66 Nationals (Aug. 6-10). She’s also qualified for the 2016 Olympic Trials in both events.

IN HER OWN WORDS: “I think I was just really in a good mindset (for the Junior Olympic meet). I was just really excited to be competing one last time for the Aquabears and I think that pushed me a little.”
