This Issaquah swimmer is going to the Olympics
The 2024 Summer Olympics get underway on July 26th.
Among the many Pacific Northwest athletes headed to Paris, is 20-year-old Keana Hunter. The Issaquah High School graduate is a member of Team USA’s artistic swimming team.
We talk with Hunter about her journey to the Olympics, her grueling training routine, and why the sport formerly known as synchronized swimming changed its name.
