Beth Botsford Biography

Beth Botsford is a two-time Olympic gold medalist in the 100-meter backstroke and 4x100-meter medley.  Botsford was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland and began swimming at a young age.  By the time she turned 14 she was already a two-time National Champion and held every national group record in the backstroke event for ages 9-14.  In 1996 she qualified to compete on the United States Olympic Team in the 200-meter backstroke and 100-meter backstroke at the age of 14 and went on to win two gold medals, which made her one of the youngest medalists in the history of the Olympics.  Over the next decade she became one of the most decorated champions in history, winning a total of six National Championships and an NCAA Championship while swimming at the University of Arizona.  During her time at Arizona she was a 16-time All-American and broke American and US Open records in the 200-meter backstroke.  Since retiring from competitive swimming she has become a valuable ambassador for the sport, traveling the world to represent the United States at swimming events.  She is now an assistant coach at her alma mater, working with both the men's and women's swim programs.
