Walsh, 19, is a graduate of Harpeth Hall and spent a lot of time training in the competition pool at Centennial Sportsplex in Nashville, per WKRN.

"Alex broke high school records," said Polly Linden, Walsh's swimming and diving coach at Harpeth Hall. "Our team was named national champions for two years with Alex, so we definitely had gotten used to all kinds of awards that we had not seen before with the Walsh sisters on our team. I think this is just the next level. Where do you go from NCAA champion as a freshman? I guess Olympic medalist."

Jess Hill, Head of Harpeth Hall, said the school is honored to have Walsh represent the institution.

"Her strength and poise are an inspiration to all of us, and I am so glad she will now serve as a role model to all girls and young women," said Hill. "She leads confidently both in and out of the pool."
