Aer becoming a state finalist in the shot as a freshman and sophomore at Alemany High School in Mission Hills, California, Britt became somewhat of a question on the recruiting trail. Because of school transfers from Alemany to Sierra Canyon, back to Alemany, and then to Notre Dame, she was only eligible to compete at the junior varsity level as a junior. Her two ACL and meniscus repairs added to the lack of recruitment. "Before my first injury, I had a lot of offers," Britt said. "Once schools started to find out about my injury, I wasn't getting as many calls. Iowa stuck with me through my injuries. When I started to come back my senior year, the schools who had fallen off started calling back, 'Oh, how's your knee?' I was like, now you're here? I forgot you existed." e Hawkeyes are coming off a third-place finish at the Big Ten Indoor and Outdoor Championships. She has been a placewinner at the three most recent league championships. e Big Ten Championships is the beginning of the postseason. Last year she got her feet wet at the first round of nationals, and on May 25, Britt extended her season into the NCAA Outdoor Championships for the first time in her career. "I will continue to believe in the methods of my coach and make sure my teammates and I are ready to go when it's time," Britt said. "I want to stay focused, train hard, and be ready and prepared when Big Ten, regionals, and Austin comes."
