Behind the Blocks: E7 - Ashley Twichell's Ticket to Tokyo

Kaitlin is joined by Ashley Twichell, one of the first Americans in any sport to qualify for the 2020 Olympic Games, as she earned her spot on the US open-water team in 2019. There is a good chance she will be Team USA's oldest rookie Olympic swimmer since 1908 as she heads to her first games next summer. A graduate from Duke University where she was an All-American and All ACC-Champ, multiple team record holder and also an Academic All American.  She has won five world championship medals and nine national titles. She exemplifies what it means to never give up as she continues to improve and dominates in the pool and in open water.
