Coach Lemley on Erin:[quote]I wasn[apos]t sure what to expect from Erin last year. I thought she was smart devoting her freshman year to studying in order to see if she had enough free time in which to swim. I[apos]ve been so impressed with Erin with four smooth strokes, the ability to sprint and her unerring fashion sense. I can always depend on Erin to bring joy to practice with her positive attitude and winning smile.[quote]
