Draw or sleep, depends on how hard practice is.

Do you have any pre-meet superstitions or rituals?
I always snap my fingers behind the blocks, shake my right leg and check my goggles multiple times to make sure they are on tight enough. I never look at the swimmer in the water because I know that when I swim it is my race.

Best SFU memory?
Winning two NEC championships in a row! The second one was bittersweet because we were down by a huge amount of points and we did not expect to win. The first time we won our conference was amazing because being a freshmen you do not expect that to happen!
