One of the most dominant swimmers in program history, Kinsey held virtually every school record during her time at Hood. Three of her records have yet to be equaled— the 100-meter freestyle, the 200-meter freestyle and the 200-meter individual medley. In 1986, Kinsey qualiﬁed for the NCAA Division III National Championships, a ﬁrst for a Hood student-athlete. A competitive cyclist and triathlete, Kinsey currently lives in Sicily, Italy, with her husband Chris and their three daughters, ages 11, 9 and 7. She has passed her passion for swimming on to her three girls, all of whom have taken to the water with the same spirit their mother exuded when she competed for the Blazers. happy!
