she’s awesome
as good as any others in the pool, if not the best one imho, which is saying a lot with this pool for Coach Hayes
she makes it look easy at that level, just has to stay healthy and not make people want to blast her, and to that she is humble and speaks and acts with humility, still plays with a lethal edge clearly too tho
