The first time Indiana resident Aly Tetzloff laid eyes on the NCAA and SEC Championship banners hanging in the James E. Martin Aquatics Center, she knew she was coming to Auburn.

A 12-year-old attending her first swimming camp, Tetzloff, now a junior, came to Auburn’s summer swimming camp not knowing a thing about Auburn. But by the time she left, she might as well have bled Orange and Blue.

As a 4-year-old, Tetzloff wanted to be a gymnast. But there was a problem. She was, according to her mom, too tall.
