For Sanderson senior Kaitlyn Burnette the transition from summer-time swimmer to college signee with Campbell University has been gradual.
Six years ago, she was a novice swimmer, enjoying the competition in a summer league.
At her coach's convincing, Burnette built on her potential, joining year-round events.
A few years later, she was shining at the North Carolina Senior Championships and besting the competition in the Cap-7 Conference.
