Sammy Harrison: Swimming, 2013-2016

Sammy Harrison holds three school records at Oregon State and is the 9th and final All-American in program history. The OSU swimming program was dropped in 2019, so her school records seem to be set in stone. Even if the program was still going, they may have lasted a long time: in the 1,000 freestyle, for example, her time is 21 seconds faster than the previous record, and in the 1,650 freestyle she broke the previous mark by 33 seconds.
Sammy now lives with her husband in Stuttgart, Germany and we had a fun conversation about her collegiate highlights, how she's filling the void where swimming used to be, and protests going on in Europe.
