On this episode of Social Kick we’re joined by rising American sprinter Patrick Sammon, fresh off a breakout season that’s turned heads in the swimming world with his 47-low 100 freestyle at US Nationals that not only earned him earned him a spot on his first World Championship team, he also earned an individual swim and likely spot on US relays as well. Already a standout NCAA finalist and relay contributor for sprint powerhouse, ASU, this long course result is a huge step forward for Patrick and bodes well for coach Herbie Behm’s squad as well as the future of US sprinting. 

We also take some time to look back at Patrick’s upbringing, his learnings from last year’s Olympic Trials, and we try to gain some knowledge from one of the most accomplished and awarded students in college swimming.
