In 1972, Sandra Neilson won three gold medals as a 16 year-old. She pulled off an amazing upset, taking down Australia's Shane Gould, who was the overwhelming favorite to win the 100m Freestyle event. Now 56, Sandy is active in the Austin swim community, where she shares her love of the sport with the youth of Texas.
