She is a late bloomer in swimming terms, making her first Olympic team at age 23.
She has already announced her retirement after the Olympics to move into the working world with McKinsey. Pat Forde wrote an excellent profile last week - http://sports.yahoo.com/news/meet-maya-d...39206.html
I lived in Toyon with Maya DiRado's dad when he was a frosh. Makes me even more of a fan of hers. Go, Maya!
Katie Ledecky starts her Olympic trials today with the 400 Free.
