The young swimmer has made a splash in the Beavers' lineup. Preparing for the Pac-10 Championships, Iverson has seven dual victories, good for sixth on the team. While Iverson is not looking toward the future beyond the Pac-10 meet, her head coach Larry Liebowitz is expecting big things from her.
"She has done a real good job so far," Liebowitz said. "I think the future of our team is in the hands of the freshman and sophomore class.
Iverson brings more than just a strong swimming ability to the Beavers' roster.
"With that kind of work ethic, she is always ready to race," Liebowitz said. "Her attitude towards the work is amazing. She always has a nice smile on her face and is ready to go."
While swimming both long distance and short distance, Iverson feels no favoritism towards either of the disciplines. However, it is the long distances that require a little extra something to keep her mind focused.
"A lot of times I will have a song stuck in my head or I will just repeat something over and over in my head," Iverson said.
Iverson has three more seasons to better herself in the pool. She is unaware of what will come in the future, but Liebowitz knows she will enjoy her years at OSU.
"You can always hear her laugh," Liebowitz said. "You can hear that giggle and know that she has a big smile on her face, enjoying what she is doing everyday."
