Early career

[edit]

Smith started swimming at the Foss Swim School in 2007. When Smith was 12, she achieved multiple new age-group records and won medals at high school state meets. Following these successes, she joined Apple Valley's Riptide Swim Club and began to receive coaching from Mike Parratto, who was known for coaching 12-time Olympic medalist Jenny Thompson.[3]

By the time she was 14, Smith was competing at meets with Olympians such as Missy Franklin[4] and Katie Ledecky.[4] Smith competed at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Trials.[5] In 2016, she became a member of the U.S. national junior team and set national age group records in the 100 y backstroke, 100 y butterfly, and 100 m backstroke. She was named the 2016 Age Group Swimmer of the Year for 13–14 year-olds.[6]

2017

[edit]

In July 2017, Smith competed in her first major international meet at the 2017 World Championships. She qualified for the 200 m backstroke event final and finished eighth.[7][8]

In August, Smith won gold medals in the 100 m backstroke and 200 m backstroke at the 2017 World Junior Championships. In the 100 m final, she broke Missy Franklin's 15–16 national age group record, as well as the world junior record previously set by Taylor Ruck in the semifinals.[9] Smith also won silver medals in the 4×100 medley relay and 4×100 mixed medley relay. She was awarded the 2017 National Age Group Swimmer of the Year for 15–16 year-olds.[10]

2018

[edit]

At the 2018 U.S. National Championships in July, Smith set a new world junior record when she and Kathleen Baker (at the time the world record holder for the 100 m backstroke) tied for first in the 200 m backstroke with a time of 2:06.43. Smith also finished third in both the 100 m backstroke and 200 m butterfly.[11]

In August 2018, Smith won her first senior international medal by taking bronze in the 200 m backstroke at the 2018 Pan Pacific Championships in Tokyo.[11] She wrapped up 2018 by earning the Age Group Swimmer of the Year title for the third time in her career and the second time consecutively in the age group (15–16 year-olds).[12]

At the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju, South Korea, Smith competed in one individual event, the 200 m backstroke. In the heats and semifinals, she asserted herself as the favorite, recording a time of 2:06.01 in the heats and consequently breaking her own world junior record.[13] In the semifinals, she surged away from the rest of the field and opened up a lead of two body lengths by the last 25 meters. She touched the wall with a time of 2:03.35, shattering Missy Franklin's world record of 2:04.06 that had stood since 2012.[14] The next day in the final, Smith won her first World Championship title, claiming gold by a margin of more than two and a half seconds. She was well under her world record pace with a 100-meter split of 59.45 (a time that would have placed sixth in the 100 m backstroke final held earlier).[15] Smith's pace fell off at the end, but she still managed to finish with the second-fastest 200 m backstroke ever with a time of 2:03.69.[15][16]

Despite not qualifying for an individual spot in the 100 m backstroke,[17] Smith was chosen as the backstroke leg for the United States in the 4×100 m medley relay final. She won gold along with Lilly King, Kelsi Dahlia, and Simone Manuel, with a world-record time of 3:50.40 to break the previous mark of 3:51.55 set in 2017.[18] As the lead-off leg, Smith's split time was eligible for an official world record. Her lead-off split of 57.57 broke Kathleen Baker's 100 m backstroke world record of 58.00.[18]

Smith was awarded 2019 American Swimmer of the Year and World Swimmer of the Year for her achievements in 2019 by Swimming World.
