Want to get to know our winner better? Check out what Isabel had to say:

How long have you been playing your game and how did you start: I have been swimming for about six and a half years. My mother is the reason I started. I have two younger sisters and he told us that we would all start swimming that way we weren’t all doing different sports.
What do you like most about your sport: I think my favorite thing about swimming is my team. I have the best swim team out there.
What? you have a pre-game ritual: Yes and no. Before an event that I want to do well in, I usually turn on my headphones and disconnect for a few minutes before I swim to get in the zone and visualize my race.
What is your most memorable sports moment: My most memorable sports moment would have to be when I finally broke 2:00 in my 200 free. I was training really hard to do it and I finally did it after a year and a half.
If you could be another person for a day, who would you be and why: I would be Brett Cooper from the Daily Wire because he is someone I look up to and I think it would be great to see what his work is like from the inside.
Someone gives you $1 million, how would you spend it: The first thing I would buy would be the Primo Arena Powerskin and the black and green Arena cobra goggles to match. Then I would use some of that money to buy a bigger car for my family. After that, I don’t know, maybe I would try to do something to make more money with money like investing or something.
Where would you go if you could travel anywhere in the world and why: I would like to visit Greece because of the beautiful architecture.
If you had an extra hour every day, how would you spend it: Maybe I should use it to read because I feel like I don’t have time to read.
What superpower do you wish you had: Perhaps teleportation because I am part of many different groups and clubs and having the ability to teleport would mean that I would not have to worry about the time spent traveling from place to place.
Favorite sports team: I don’t have a favorite sports team.
Preferred athlete: Riley Gaines.
Favorite hero: Miles Morales of the Spider-Verse.
