UP CLOSE Rachael Feurtado

Three best area swimmers: "Canfield's Meghan Linnelli, Boardman's Tyler O'Halloran, Warren Harding's Nathan King." (All are juniors.)
Would you shave your head if it meant winning a state title? "I don't know. Probably not. I think I'd rather take state runner-up."
Would you shave three years off your life for a state title? "I probably would. I'd be so happy."
Who is your hero? "[Swimmer] Anna Strohl from Gates Mill Hawken. She's impressive, she's dedicated and she's really nice. She's a fun person to watch."
