Kimmie Kreuzberger,<\/strong> a recent graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara achieved her Olympic Trials cut for the 50 freestyle in Portland, Oregon during the last weekend open for qualification. She swam all four years at the Division I level under Gaucho head coach Gregg Wilson<\/strong><\/a>. She will be traveling to Omaha with her teammates to compete and celebrate one last hurrah with their coach.<\/p>\n

Kreuzberger has been swimming for majority of her life. While this is her first Trials meet, she made it clear that it will certainly not be her last race and the end of her swimming career.<\/p>\n

Swimming World: What does qualifying mean to you?<\/h3>\n

KK:<\/strong> It\u2019s every swimmers goal to try to get to Trials. I\u2019ve been swimming and competing since I was 5 years old and this goal to get the trials cut just became very real for me last August. I dropped over a second in the 50 free within the past year in long course season which has been incredible. So after that big drop of time in August I thought, \u201cWow this could be a real opportunity for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

So at the beginning of the year I made Trials my goal, knowing it was going to take a lot of extra work on top of collegiate athletics and competing short course year-round. To end my career with the Gauchos and to represent them at this stature of a meet is very cool. Everything that I\u2019ve been working for so long is going to pay off at the fastest meet you could possibly go to.<\/p>\n

Will Trials be the final stop in your swimming career?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Over the past year and my journey to qualify, the more I\u2019ve been to these long course competitions and the more I\u2019ve been fine-tuning my racing and going to higher-caliber meets, I realistically don\u2019t see myself ever stopping. I\u2019ve been swimming for so long. It\u2019s what I love. It\u2019s what I\u2019m comfortable doing. I have this drive in me that feels like I haven\u2019t reached my full potential. I truly believe I have more to give to the sport. Whether that\u2019s in my personal success or being a part of another amazing team like what I\u2019ve already experienced throughout my collegiate and my club years.<\/p>\n

What do you hope to accomplish at Trials?<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m very proud of myself for achieving my goal to make it. That took a lot for me. I went to meets during finals, in the middle of the season, and the middle of the school quarter. I was flying all around the country and just to be able to make it is a huge accomplishment for me.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m so competitive and I want to do well there too. I don\u2019t want to show up and flop. I want to give it my all and give it everything that I\u2019ve got because I\u2019ve worked so hard to get to that meet. I want to prove that I\u2019m good enough to go another best time and break that 26.0, and that I\u2019ve put in the work to do this. I\u2019m looking forward to going with my team, having fun, and having a great time cheering them on.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in four years?<\/h3>\n

I would love to be able to stay at the rate that I\u2019m at. I have other goals and aspirations. I want to start my career and build that other part of my life. But I also want to be able to maintain what I\u2019ve spent developing these past 16 years of my life. I\u2019d love to be up in the Bay Area. I\u2019ve already been researching different masters programs around the area. It\u2019s just such a great sport and such an influential community to be a part of. I\u2019ve made some of my best friends from this sport, even my current team. I just couldn\u2019t imagine leaving all of that behind to start a new life.<\/p>\n

How has swimming impacted your life?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Swimming is a unique sport. It takes a certain kind of person to wake up at the crack of dawn and hop into a cold pool and pound 5,000 or more yards. It\u2019s also a very rewarding sport. It\u2019s helped me really fine-tune certain skills that are really going to benefit me outside of the pool and in the real world. Hard work, perseverance, and the ability to fail. To consistently try and to not meet that goal. To be able to handle failing. To pick yourself back up and keep going is a huge accomplishment and skill that swimmers especially learn in the sport because it\u2019s so difficult, rigorous, and demanding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
