If you are reading this, then you're likely at least somewhat familiar with Kelsi Worrell, the former UofL swimmer who won multiple national titles and brought a gold medal back from last summer's Olympic Games in Brazil. Worrell wrapped up her monster 2016 in December by becoming the first American woman to break 25 seconds in the 50-meter butterfly.
You likely aren't as familiar with the name Mallory Comerford. You should be, but that's ok. You are far from alone.
Swimming is a strange sport in that it goes from being one of the primary focuses of the American sports world for a few months every four years, to way off the national radar in the many months in between.
