Aquatics is in Kaleigh’s DNA. Her father, Sandy, was a member of the USC swimming team from 1964 to 1968 and competed in both the 1964 Tokyo and 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games. Evidently, anything Dad can do, Kaleigh can do better, given that Paris will be her third Olympic Games, one at which she intends to add a third gold medal to the two she already possesses from Rio and Tokyo.
Those are not the sole highlights of her career; she can also point to four world titles (2015, 2019, 2022, 2024), the 2015 Pan American Games gold medal, as well as FINA World League Super Final victories in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
Is that enough? Evidently not. In addition to her water polo accolades, Kaleigh is a two-time US surfing champion (2009, 2010).
Paris Result:
4th place; Eliminated in the bronze medal match.
