She comes from a family of high caliber athletes; her mother, also a swimmer, competed for USC in Katie\u2019s specialties, fly and free, and her father played tight-end for Indiana State. She tried a lot of different sports when she was young, including soccer, volleyball and track and settled on swimming when it became her passion.<\/p>\n<p>Katie McLaughlin was a natural at the sport and despite only being 14, qualified for the 2012 Olympic Trials. She went on to be a top 10 recruit in the country for the class of 2015, ultimately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/pan-pacs-medalist-katie-mclaughlin-commits-to-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">choosing to compete for the Cal Golden Bears<\/a> and Head Coach <strong>Teri McKeever<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>During her first semester of college she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/katie-mclaughlin-pan-pacs-bronze-medalist-heading-home-to-finish-rehab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">injured her neck while on a training trip in Hawaii<\/a>. This took her out of competition until Cal\u2019s conference meet, the PAC 12 Championships. Despite a rough start to her college career, she won a total of seven PAC 12 titles as a member of the 200, 400, and 800 freestyle relays and 400 medley relay. Individually, McLaughlin competed at NCAA Championships 3 out of her four years at Cal. During the 2017 NCAA Championships she earned 2nd place in the 200 fly. As a senior, McLaughlin swam on 3 NCAA record setting, gold medal winning relays at the NCAA championships.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_359554\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-359554\" data-attachment-id=\"359554\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/ncaa-champion-katie-mclaughlin-signs-with-finis\/california-200-free-relay-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/vmrw8k5h.tinifycdn.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/california-200-free-relay-_PB51673.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Peter H.
