She didn&#8217;t have nearly the meet she was hoping for and was left looking for answers. She finished fifth in the 200 fly (1:51.94), 11th in the 500 free (4:37.87) and 18th in the 200 free (1:44.98).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a very high-pressure meet and I think it just got to me. Based off the year before, I put a lot of pressure on myself to compete and hold myself to a certain standard. I kind of cracked under the pressure,\u201d Katie Drabot told <em>Swimming World<\/em>. \u201cThe year as a whole was a little rocky with training and I think I lacked a bit of motivation throughout the fall and winter. But I was able to refocus. You can never really predict how you are going to do. You can\u2019t be on your &#8216;A&#8217; game all the time. Afterward I used the frustration to motivate me to put some good swims together that summer.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_385569\" style=\"width: 623px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-385569\" data-attachment-id=\"385569\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/katie-drabot-riding-late-2019-surge-into-stanford-finale-olympic-trials\/2019usaswimmingnationals-22\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2019USAswimmingNationals-22-e1584294307855.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,778\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;7.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Laserwolf&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS-1D X Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1564590148&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;222&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;320&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"katie-drabot-womens-200-fly-prelims-day1-2019-nationals\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;3\/15\/20&lt;br \/&gt;\n2019USAswimmingNationals-22&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Connor Trimble&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2019USAswimmingNationals-22-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2019USAswimmingNationals-22-1024x664.jpg\" class=\" wp-image-385569\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/2019USAswimmingNationals-22-700x500.jpg\" alt=\"2019USAswimmingNationals-22\" width=\"613\" height=\"438\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-385569\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Courtesy: Connor Trimble<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While most swimmers want a hard-earned break after the NCAA championships, Drabot couldn&#8217;t wait to get back in the water and start her long-course training. The quickest way to get over what happened was to get a new process started.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was back in the pool 24 hours after NCAAs ended. You take a deep breath, let everything go and get back on your way of training. Right after, I flew to the OTC for some long-course training and it was really refreshing. It was a good way to get long course started,\u201d she said. \u201cI definitely had to lean on my coaches and my teammates and look forward. I used that to inspire me. I can usually channel frustration into something positive. It was definitely not the easiest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Especially since she was preparing for the world championships.<\/p>\n<p>If NCAAs brought enough pressure to affect her, Drabot was determined not to let that happen on an even bigger stage.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_383459\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-383459\" data-attachment-id=\"383459\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/katie-drabot-riding-late-2019-surge-into-stanford-finale-olympic-trials\/hali-flickinger-katie-drabot-final-2019-world-championships_1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hali-flickinger-katie-drabot-final-2019-world-championships_1-e1564089191197.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,802\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;ILCE-7SM2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1564028018&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"hali-flickinger-katie-drabot-final-2019-world-championships_1\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;7\/25\/19&lt;br \/&gt;\nhali-flickinger-katie-drabot-final-2019-world-championships_1&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hali-flickinger-katie-drabot-final-2019-world-championships_1-700x500.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hali-flickinger-katie-drabot-final-2019-world-championships_1-1024x684.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-383459 size-medium-small\" src=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/hali-flickinger-katie-drabot-final-2019-world-championships_1-450x301.jpg\" alt=\"hali-flickinger-katie-drabot\" width=\"450\" height=\"301\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-383459\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Katie Drabot (right) with Hali Flickinger at Worlds. Photo Courtesy: Becca Wyant<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWorlds was the biggest competition I have been to. It is exciting but there are definitely nerves. I told my coaches I wanted to medal at worlds. It was a big goal and scary goal but I needed to believe I could compete at that level,\u201d Katie Drabot said. \u201cI was pretty confident going into the meet and I had to execute my race plan properly. Having <strong>Hali <\/strong>(<strong>Flickinger<\/strong>) there with someone I can laugh with in the ready room really made things easier. Having a good Stanford showing helped, too. I tried to think of it as another meet with the same distance from one side of the pool to the other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Easier said than done, of course, but Drabot put a strong race together and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/boglarka-kapas-runs-down-hali-flickinger-for-200-fly-world-title\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">earned the bronze medal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe prelims swim shook me up a little bit. I wasn\u2019t super happy with it and being next to Hali in the semis and finals gave me a lot of comfort.\u00a0It was fun. I was proud to represent the U.S.,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel like there was a little more in the tank. But it definitely gives me some hope and confidence knowing I not only can compete at a meet of that caliber but succeed at that level. I belong at that level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a good experience but left me hungry for more. I think that will help going into 2020. I just can focus on what needs to be done in practice every day. This summer gave me a lot of confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Drabot wasn&#8217;t waiting until 2020 to continue that wave of confidence, however.<\/p>\n<p>While trying to make the Olympic team is in the back of her mind, Drabot doesn&#8217;t want to miss out on experiencing her senior season at Stanford.<\/p>\n<p>Drabot put that confidence on display at the Texas A&amp;M Art Adamson Invitational, the team&#8217;s midseason invite this year.<\/p>\n<p>In one of the performances of the meet, Drabot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/shaine-casas-goes-138-in-200-back-katie-drabot-blasts-153-200-fly-in-art-adamson-finale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">won the 200-yard butterfly<\/a> in 1:53.14, an NCAA automatic qualifying time and the top time in the NCAA this season.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cI was pretty happy. Coming out of last season, I was definitely disappointed and left wanting more. I went into long course and re-shifted my goals. Coming into the season, I definitely wanted another shot at proving myself that I didn\u2019t get last year,\u201d she said. \u201cI was pretty happy with the invite. It was pretty solid. It was fun to go and race and see what I have been doing well and what I still need to work on.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Drabot is one of the leaders on a Stanford team aiming to defend their three national titles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was different looking around the room and seeing that you are the oldest,\u201d Katie Drabot said. \u201cIf I am being honest, I didn\u2019t set any goals as far as times. I just want to have fun, which is something I didn\u2019t have last time. I needed to take a step back and enjoy the sport and enjoy racing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am just trying to enjoy every moment of my senior season.
