Riley Gaines - NCAA/ US Olympic Swimmer Freedom Rally - Title 9 & Protecting Women Sports * PITD

#RileyGaines – NCAA/ US Olympic Swimmer - #FreedomRally – Title 9 & Protecting Women Sports 2022 * PITD

Over the course of a highly decorated career, Riley Gaines established herself as one of the most dominant swimmers in the history of Tennessee high school athletics…winning 7 state individual championships (out of 8 possible events…her only loss was finishing 2nd to a future Olympian), and setting numerous records.
COLLEGE
It was no accident that Riley was heavily recruited (top 100 prospects in the USA) by many prestigious NCAA swimming programs throughout the country.

Due to many factors, she selected the University of Kentucky (UK) Wildcats.

Riley continued her diligent work ethic during her first year (2018-19) at UK, improving both technically and mechanically resulting in SEC All- freshman team.

Riley was having an outstanding sophomore campaign (2019-20) and had high hopes for the NCAA Championships, but due to the Covid-19 outbreak, the event was cancelled.

Disappointed, but undeterred, Riley’s next challenge (like thousands of collegiate athletes across the nation) was to adapt and find another place to train…as the NCAA shut down all college athletic facilities.

Riley credits a strong faith, family bond, and mental toughness instilled by her father for being able to move forward and overcome this minor setback.
Specifically, Riley remembers her Father, Brad (a former football star RB/WR at Vanderbilt) having her (then age 11) jump into an ice filled pool. The purpose was to teach her that mental preparation comes before physical participation.

As a junior (2020-21) Riley had a record setting season that included an upset win in the 200 Yard Freestyle in the Championships conference which led UK to its first ever SEC swimming title…for either men or women!
The accolades and awards (All American status) poured in after a stellar performance at the NCAA Championships and set the stage for what Riley thought would be an unforgettable senior year. As fate would have it, she would be right on the money!
