USA Swimming recently announced its team for the World Short Course Championships to be held in China in December. Two members of that team, Erika Brown and Kyle DeCoursey from the University of Tennessee, caught up with Swimming World’s Andy Ross on Friday afternoon after their tri-meet with Wisconsin and Purdue to discuss the upcoming trip.
Brown talked below about what she is looking forward to at the meet as well as her thoughts on it being her first Team USA trip. Brown was selected to swim the 4×100 free relay and she talked about the benefit of having Tennessee teammate DeCoursey accompanying her on the trip.
