Watch for this name when the precious-medal medals are awarded next year: Giles Smith. The Scottsdale resident hopes to travel to Tokyo for the Summer Olympics, where he would participate in the 100-meter butterfly and the 4×100-meter medley, if he qualifies for the first. While training for the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, he ruptured the bursa-sac in his left elbow, leaving him unable to pull on the arm at full force for several weeks. After months of physical rehabilitation, the Baltimore-born Smith and U of A All-American is training six–eight hours daily at various Valley locations. Looking forward to the Omaha Olympic Trials in June 2020, he plans to be one of the 52 men and women to become U.S. Olympians. He’s now beating the world’s best.
