Prior to Alaska: Attended Tualatin High School in Tualatin, OR...qualified for the Oregon High School State Championships all four years...as a senior qualified for the championship final in both the 200 yd and 500 yd freestyles, finishing in sixth place in the 200 and seventh in the 500. 

Coach Lemley on Kelly: "Kelly had a great freshman year resulting primarily from the commitment she made to train at the level needed to qualify for NCAAs. To her credit she qualified to swim in four individual events at nationals and became our school's first All-American swimmer in 20 years with her 10th place finish in the 200 yd Fly. In fact, as our only national qualifier, she virtually trained alone during the last month of practice. I found her day-to-day determination to stay focused to be quite extraordinary. If we qualify our relays for NCAAs this year, she should be joined by at least three of her teammates. It was definitely a challenge for her to relax at last year's championships with no teammates to hang out with and two coaches hovering over her constantly yet she maintained her composure and swam very well in that pressure cooker of a meet."
