Simone Manuel
She is the first African-American woman to win any individual Olympic medal in swimming (Gold 2016) for the United States
Manuel's success continued at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where she added a bronze medal to her collection as the anchor of the American 4×100-meter freestyle relay team. Beyond the Olympics, she has been a dominant force in international swimming, holding three world records as part of relay teams. Her achievements extend to the collegiate level, where she became a six-time individual NCAA Division I Women's Swimming and Diving Championships champion. Manuel's impact on the sport is not only measured by her medals but also by her role in breaking barriers and inspiring future generations of swimmers.
During her time at Stanford University from 2014 to 2018, Manuel was a key member of the Stanford Cardinal women's swimming team. She broke school records in the 50-, 100-, and 200-yard freestyle events and set American and NCAA records in the 100-yard freestyle during her freshman year. Her collegiate career was marked by numerous accolades, including six individual NCAA titles and helping Stanford win the NCAA team championship in 2017 and 2018. In her senior year, she was awarded the prestigious Honda Sports Award as the nation's best female swimmer and the Honda Cup for the best overall female collegiate athlete.
Simone Manuel's influence extends beyond the pool, as she has become a symbol of perseverance, excellence, and representation in a sport where diversity has historically been limited. Her journey from collegiate success to Olympic glory has inspired countless athletes, and her legacy continues to grow as she competes at the highest levels of the sport.
