We’re closing out June’s Throwback Thursdays with a splash—and to be clear, that probably won’t be the last swimming pun I make here. We’re joined this week by former UVA swimmer Leah Smith, who is among the most decorated Virginia athletes of all time.
While at UVA, she won four national titles, more than any other UVA athlete across all sports. She took the 500m free and 1,650m free titles in each of 2015 and 2016. But amazingly, that wasn’t the peak of her career. It wasn’t even close. In fact, the peak of her career may be yet to come.
