Kaitlin Sandeno (born March 13, 1983 in Mission Viejo, California) is
a retired American swimmer, and was part of the team that
set the world record in the 4x200 m freestyle relay at the 2004
Summer Olympics.[4]
Career
At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia, Sandeno won the bronze
medal in the 800 m freestyle[5] event,
along with 4th place in the 400 m individual medley (IM) and 6th place in
the 200 m butterfly. In 2003,
while enrolled at the University of Southern
California, she won the US national championship in the 200m
butterfly, 200 m IM, and 400 m IM events.
The 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece saw Sandeno win three more
Olympic medals: a silver medal in the 400 m IM, a bronze medal in
the 400 m freestyle, and a gold medal in the 4x200 m freestyle
relay. The American team of Natalie Coughlin, Carly Piper, Dana Vollmer, and
Sandeno also broke the seventeen-year-old world record (previously
held by East
Germany)by more than two seconds with their victory in the
4x200 m freestyle relay.
After failing to qualify for the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team, Sandeno
announced her retirement. She is currently looking to start a new
career in sports broadcasting.
Personal
At a younger age, Sandeno swam for the Nellie Gail Saddleback
Valley Gators in Orange County, California,
coached by Vic and Renee Riggs. She swam as one of the top
competitors in freestyle events, and helped the Gator team.
In September, 2008, Sandeno teamed up with Anna Kournikova
