Up & Comers: Abi Furqueron<\/h2>\n

Sponsored by Spectrum Aquatics<\/a><\/h3>\n

Swimming a personal best is exciting for swimmers of all ages, and it\u2019s especially exciting when that time earns the swimmer her first qualifying standard.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what happened for 14-year-old Abi Furqueron<\/strong> of the Spokane Waves Aquatic Team when she dropped nearly three-and-a-half seconds off her previous best (swum 11 months earlier) in the girls 100 yard breast. Her 1:04.29 at the Pacific Northwest Washington State Senior Short Course Championships last December qualified her for Winter Juniors. Furqueron, who began swimming competitively at the age of 10, first learned how to swim at a Japanese swim school in northern Japan when she was 4. While attending preschool and elementary school there, she became fluent in the language.<\/p>\n

Her coach at the Spokane Waves, Sean Muncie<\/strong>, told Swimming World, \u201cAbi is extremely consistent and has excellent practice attendance. She\u2019s coachable, a hard worker and a good teammate. She\u2019s very intrinsic in her motivation.\u201d He further says that Furqueron \u201cis prepared. It\u2019s a small statement, but it says a lot because it takes organization and maturity. She\u2019s on time for practice, has her equipment ready and is focused on training. She isn\u2019t distracted and doesn\u2019t allow outside social in uence dictate her behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

With qualities such as these, it\u2019s not surprising that she has a 4.0 GPA as a freshman at Spokane\u2019s Mead High School and is a talented and decorated pianist. For the last four years, she has competed and medaled at MusicFest Northwest for her pianist skills.<\/p>\n

Outside of the pool, Furqueron enjoys skiing, cooking\/baking and spending time with friends.<\/p>\n
