She looked up at the stands and found inspiration in the hundreds of alumni and family members supporting the Buckeyes. She felt like she was swimming for the fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNever in a million years did I think I would walk out of the competition winning four national titles,\u201d she said. \u201cThe entire day was a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Solo champion. Duet champion. Team champion. And to top it off, she helped lead the Buckeyes to their 30<sup>th<\/sup> national title, their second in the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew that she was capable of having an amazing performance that day because the potential outcome was literally building all season,\u201d OSU coach <strong>Holly Vargo Brown<\/strong> said.\u00a0\u201cBut I don\u2019t think anyone was truly ready for the extra special moment of combining that great swim with our huge and loyal home-crowd group of fans. It felt electric \u2013 excellence and emotion all wrapped into one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although elite synchro athletes make it look easy, it\u2019s not. Not even close; some liken synchro to running a marathon while holding your breath and smiling. And then to compete in three different event finals on the same day? Baranski knew she had to go to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSwimming three separate programs\u00a0in one day\u00a0can be extremely difficult,\u201d she said. \u201cYou have hundreds of different focuses and corrections for each routine.\u00a0I have definitely learned how to compartmentalize each routine and be able to move on from event to event quickly regardless of the outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that Baranski did. As a result, she won the Individual High Point Award, earned All-American status and was named Collegiate Athlete of the Year. She finished her OSU career as a four-time All-American, a two-time solo champion, a duet champion, the owner of numerous academic awards and a member of two Buckeye national title-winning teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been such an honor to represent Ohio State as a synchro swimmer,\u201d she said. \u201cI look at those accomplishments and immediately think about my team and how much they have supported my journey over the past four years. I could not have done anything without them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Added Vargo Brown: \u201cI have heard her say that she feels every one of her teammates is an extraordinary person, which I think speaks volumes to the personal connection she has made with each member of her team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>USA Synchro CEO <strong>Myriam Glez<\/strong> said Baranski is a natural performer who impressed the fans and judges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u00a0has great height in vertical and\u00a0fantastic barracuda,\u201d Glez said.\u00a0\u201cMost of all, she has an amazing presentation and is really engaged with the audience. She is definitely an enjoyable\u00a0swimmer to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a perfect ending out of the way, Baranski eyes a new beginning as a member of the U.S. Senior National Squad. She was named to the squad after selection camps last November and will start training full-time in California in May. She\u2019s already completed several lengthy training camps with the squad and knows the workload is about to increase.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe training is different than college training because the hours are a lot longer,\u201d she said. \u201cThe maximum amount of hours you can train a day in college is four. With the national team, a typical training day lasts eight to 10 hours. This transition can be extremely tough, but it\u2019s not something I haven\u2019t done before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is\u00a0a solid player for the senior team, especially for the technical team,\u201d Glez said. \u201cShe is very creative and contributes well to the choreography process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Baranski got her start in synchro in her hometown of Hamden, Conn. She was a dancer when she was younger and was looking for a sport that involved teamwork and had an artistic side. Synchro fit the bill. She swan with the local club, the Hamden Heronettes, and was eventually recognized on a national level when she was named to the U.S. 13-15 National Team in 2010.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s kept on dancing, though, as her synchro career has progressed. She has studied dance for almost 16 years and will have a minor in dance from OSU.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDance is my passion in life, and my biggest dream is to own a dance studio,\u201d she said. \u201cAfter graduation I hope to be a synchronized swimmer\/dance in the Las Vegas (aquatic) show, \u2018Le Reve.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her dance skills have only benefitted her in the pool, according to Vargo Brown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmma is one of the most talented all-around athletes that has competed for Ohio State,\u201d Vargo Brown said.\u00a0\u201cHer background as a dancer has allowed her to have an extremely solid knowledge of how to use her body in the most effective ways for execution, height and overall expression of movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For now, her focus will be on the national squad as it prepares for the top event of the year, the FINA World Championships in Budapest, Hungary, in July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis competition can determine how well we will be doing for the next four years,\u201d she said. \u201cI hope that we can improve in placement at Worlds and present the world with a routine full of pride and artistry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the United States has the power to change the sport and do something different, and I can\u2019t wait to see our end result.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Dax Lowery, Swimming World Contributor.
