What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Mackenzie loves competing, setting personal records, and earning awards.

Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Mackenzie is most inspired by Katie Ledecky. She loves the fact that she is the best female swimmer of all time and often swims faster than some of the men that compete in the same competitions.

What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

I was most proud watching her complete a triathalon at just 7 years old. Not only did she participate, but she gave it her all and pushed hard through the entire race.
