Like many Olympic spectators, Catherine Zagroba will remember seeing America’s best swimmers compete for a chance to win gold, silver or bronze.
Unlike most of us, her memories also include the feel of the water and the pressures of Olympic-level competition.
Zagroba, a Class of 2008 Ridgewood High School alumna who graduated from Harvard University this year, was at the 2012 Olympic Team Trials earlier this summer, competing with the biggest names in swimming.
Between June 25 and July 2, Zagroba and hundreds of other elite athletes swam at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb., some aiming to come out on top in their best events and go to London.
