Kristen Romano accomplished some impressive feats swimming for the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Romano set four school records over five years with the Buckeyes, beginning in 2017. The Lancaster, New York native was also voted as a CSCAA First-Team All-American in four events in 2020 and 2021.

Next month, Romano will add to her impressive resume by competing in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games with Team Puerto Rico. Romano earned her spot on the team by posting a 2:13.09 time at May's Atlanta Classic, which won her the event.
