This article originally appeared in the October 2017 issue<\/a> of Swimming World Magazine.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Emma Barksdale<\/strong> came to the University of South Carolina from California\u2019s Davis Arden Racing Team in part because of a longstanding relationship that Gamecock Coach McGee Moody had with former teammate and Barksdale\u2019s coach at DART, Billy Doughty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As a high school senior, Barksdale achieved short course times of 2:01.76 in the 200 yard IM, 1:03.53 and 2:20.54 in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes as well as a 4:52.08 Olympic qualifying time in the 400 meter IM.<\/p>\n

Barksdale became South Carolina\u2019s most versatile swimmer as a freshman in 2016, taking part in eight different events. That increased to nine events as a sophomore, culminating with a 13th-place finish at NCAAs in the 400 yard IM (4:06.80). She also finished fourth at SECs in the same event (4:06.07) and seventh in the 200 IM (1:56.65). She continued her strong performances this summer with a sixth-place 2:13.47 200 meter IM at the Phillips 66 U.S. nationals. In Columbia, she owns program top times in the 1000 free, both IMs and four relays, and ranks third in the 500 free and 200 breast.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmma was a quiet young lady when she first arrived at South Carolina,\u201d says Coach Moody. \u201cAs she has continued to develop as an athlete, she has also opened up and embraced her role as a team leader. She is also one of the hardest workers that we have had during my time at Carolina. She completely trusts the training plan, and she\u2019s learned to use the strength, nutrition and recovery component to make her a better all-around swimmer.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is loved and respected by her teammates. Emma was elected captain for this season and she cares deeply for her team,\u201d says Moody.<\/p>\n
