MCCLATCHY'S CLAIRE SUTTERVILLE  HAS SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS IN THE  POOL.  AS SOON AS I GOT IN THE WATER, I  IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE WITH  IT.  I STARTED AS A FIELD PLAYER.  I THINK I WAS TOO AGGRESSIVE IN  THE POOL, SO THEY MOVED ME TO  GOAL.  A GOALIE WITH EXCEPTIONAL  AWARENESS AND SHOT STOPPING  SKILLS, PROBABLY LIKE 50MPH.  PROBABLY THE HIGHEST, LOWEST,  MAYBE 25MPH.  A PHYSICAL SHOT BLOCKER.  BATTLING BOTH ABOVE AND BENEATH  THE SURFACE.  THE KIND OF THE RULE IS LIKE IF  THE REF DOESN'T SEE IT  UNDERWATER, THEN IT DIDN'T  HAPPEN.  A FIGHTER SINCE BIRTH, CLAIRE  UNDERWENT OPEN HEART SURGERY AT  THE AGE THREE TO REPAIR THREE  HOLES IN HER HEART.  I WAS BORN WITH ONE ASD AND TWO  VSDS SO I WENT.  I WENT UNDER THE SURGERY TO GET  THAT FIXED.  A SUCCESSFUL OPERATION THAT'S  ALLOWED HER TO LIVE AN ACTIVE  LIFESTYLE.  I'M VERY PROUD.  I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY MOM.  SHE'S ALWAYS LIKE PUSHED ME TO  DO MY BEST, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT  COMES TO ATHLETICS.  AND NOW CLAIRE ISS LEARNING FROM  ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST.
