Capitalizing on a stellar Sizzlin' Summer Splash meet where she won the High Point Award, Olpin put on another show at the Inland Empire Long Course Championships last weekend. Olpin captured two silver medals in the 200-meter individual medley and 50-meter freestyle, respectively. In the relays, Olpin helped the Sharks capture second in the 200-meter medley relay with a strong time of 2:19:32. At 12-years-old, Olpin continues to put the regional swimming community on notice.
