Hyman became an Olympic gold medalist in the 200 fly at the 2000 Sydney Games when she famously upset favorite Australian Susie O’Neill. She is also a five-time NCAA champion and a two-time winner of the Honda Sports Award. In March, she announced that she would not be returning as a member of ASU’s Sun Devil staff, but followed up that announcement by announcing her pregnancy in June.

Congrats! The 23rd was a historical day! Chaparral High freshman Greer Pattison broke Misty’s 1995 100 backstroke record at the Brophy/Xavier Invite in Phoenix on Saturday!
