There’s always a silver lining somewhere, even on really cloudy days — something that Kelee Shimizu can take comfort in.
The Waiakea junior could emulate the motivational fire of Tom Brady and carry a Mauna Kea-sized chip on her shoulder.
It could prove beneficial for Shimizu, who’ll compete in the 100-yard butterfly at the HHSAA state swimming and diving championships.
As far as her time in the pool, it hasn’t been a wonderful life for Shimizu lately, and never mind that there’s really no other sport like swimming in terms of preparation.
