Erika Pelaez, a senior at the South Florida HEAT, has been a dominant force in high school swimming for five years, winning every individual event she has competed in since eighth grade. At this year's state meet, she broke four state records and won all her individual events for a fifth consecutive year, accumulating 18 FHSAA state medals (12 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze, and a fourth-place finish). Pelaez also placed ninth and 12th in relay events. When asked about the pressure she faced this year, Pelaez replied that she placed more pressure on herself than others did, as she had a strong performance at regionals and was not tapered for the event. Pelaez represented the USA at the World Junior Championships in September and broke a national record in the 50 freestyle at a high school meet prior to states.
