Highlights
Sarah swam sensationally at the 2004 Telstra Olympic Team Trials to finish second in the 800 metre freestyle and qualify for her first Olympic Games.

She finished 2003 ranked 73rd in the world for the event, but her time at the Trials of 8.34.70, would have seen her in the top 15.

She also placed third in the 400 freestyle, improving her personal best by almost 3 seconds and her ranking almost 40 places.

The Olympics will be Sarah's second senior Australian team after she stepped up in 2003 to finish third in the 1500 metre freestyle at the Telstra Australian Championships and became a late inclusion into the team for the World Championships in Barcelona.

In Barcelona she finished 19th in the 1500m and was able to see first hand what is needed to succeed at the highest level.

Sarah also had a solid age group career that included winning a gold and two silver medals at the 2002 Australian Age Championships in Sydney.

GOOD LUCK SARAH
