Seemann's biggest contribution to the team has been her competitiveness and racing attitude. Long says Seemann is in a position to be among the Big Ten-best during her final collegiate season. "She is a competitor and loves to race," said Long. "That sounds silly to talk about at this level, but you can't have enough of those people. When you put them on the blocks or in any given sport, they are gamers and love to compete, race, and win. "She is in a good place as far as being able to compete with the highest levels of the Big Ten," he said. "We like her in that competitive role. She'll swim in a lot of events throughout the season, and we'll finalize her events later on." "That's contagious throughout the rest of the team.

She wants to swim into the sunset at the NCAA Championships in Minneapolis from March 20-22, 2014. 56 "It sounds crazy, but I don't regret going to Arizona," she said. "My freshman year was exactly what I wanted and it eventually brought me here. "It has been what I expected and everything has followed through with all things that drew me here and the team... it has been a fun ride."
