Hometown: Mesa, Arizona. Birth date: April 16, 1992. College: Texas A&M

Breeja lettered in three sports at Mountain View High School –softball, track and field, and –but didn’t commit seriously to swimming until age 17. Although she became a serious swimmer later than most Olympians, Larson’s talent was apparent immediately; her best high school times were a 1:02.1 in the 100 breast, 23.68 in the 50 free, and a 51.12 in the 100 free. Larson holds Mesa Aquatics Club team records in every event, both yards and meters. After Larson graduated from Mountain View in 2010 she chose to attend Texas A&M to further her swimming career. Her first taste of success on the national level came at the 2011 NCAA Division 1 championships when she was second in both the 100 and 200 breast. Her times in those events–58.51 and 2:06.18–were both Texas A&M school records. As a sophomore on the Aggies swim team, Larson was the 2012 NCAA Division 1 champion in the 100 breast with a time of 57.71. This was a NCAA, US Open, and American record for the breaststroker. She also took third place in the 200 breast with a 2:06.82, also a school record. 2012 was a very good year for Larson. At the US Olympic Trails she won the 100 breast, beating Olympian . Larson earned her Olympic gold medal as part of the United States’ 400 medley relay team. She was also sixth in the 100 breast. Larson showed more improvement during her junior year at Texas A&M. She repeated as champion in the 100 breast at the 2013 NCAA Division 1 championships with a time of 57.43, breaking her own NCAA, US Open, and American record. She was also third in the 200 breast with a very fast time of 2:04.48. In the summer of 2013, Larson qualified for the FINA World Championships in Barcelona by winning the 100 and 200 breast and finishing second in the 50 breast. In Barcelona, she was 4th in the 50 breast and 5th in the 100 breast and medaled with a gold in the 4x100 medley relay. In the summer of 2014 Larson qualified for the Pan Pacific Games coming away with a bronze in the 100 meter breaststroke. Larson has competed in multiple FINA Swimming World Cup events medaling with most of her races. In the 2016 AT&T Winter Nationals Larson swam to a gold place finish in the 200 breaststroke and silver in the 100 breaststroke. CHAMPION ATHLETES SHORT BIOGRAPHIES
