In 2000, Megan Jendrick shot to swimming’s pinnacle by earning two gold medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. She was just 16.

Four years later at the U.S. Olympic Trials, Megan missed qualifying by eleven hundredths of a second. Megan was devastated and chose to get back in the game. With restored confidence, she qualified for the 2008 Beijing Games in two events, earning Olympic sliver in the 400m medley relay.
