And with a story like Torres’, who is sprinting on her fifth Olympic swim team at the age of 41, it’s clear that Safritt, a Pitt senior, has time to go back and try again if she wants.
Safritt, a Pitt senior swimmer, swam two events at the recent Olympic trials – the 50-meter freestyle and the 100-meter freestyle – in a time trial in which she garnered her best time by 1.5 seconds.
“It was a whole different competition,” said Safritt, who’s set to captain Pitt this upcoming season.
“It was great getting to race on that type of level.”
With a time of 26.46 seconds, one that’s just hovering around her best time ever, she ended tied for 71st place.
In a competition of 89 swimmers, 15 made it to the semifinals and eight swam in the finals.
