Swimmers Take Over SI’s “Faces in the Crowd”
It’s so nice to open up an issue of Sports Illustrated and see the hard work of various swimmers recognized. If you’re not familiar with SI, allow me to break it down:
In the opening pages of the magazine, there is a feature called “Faces in the Crowd”. It’s where they put the spotlight on 6 standout prep athletes in a variety of sports. In addition, one of the athletes, as decided by the editors, gets a video spotlight on Takkle.com. In recent issues of Sports Illustrated, not 1, but 2 swimmers have been tabbed the “Video Face”. Those two very deserving swimmers are Jenny Connolly and Spindrift Beck (who has the coolest name ever).
Check out their pages on Takkle.com (which include video) and feel free to nominate more swimmers for SI’s “Faces in the Crowd”. You can do so at SI.com/Faces.

I’ve been getting them and I have to agree. That is the first page (if they’re not talking about Michigan, Mike Hart, or Tom Brady) I go to!
STFU! Spindrift Beck?! That name is fucking AWESOME!
I want a cool name so bad… First D. Woods, now Spindrift!? Fuck Erika, I’m officially something else… Give me a week or two, I’ll find something….
LOL, Erika! Let us know what you come up with!
Yea, we first “discovered” her a couple of years ago. I recall taking a picture of the scoreboard because I loved her name. She was kickin’ ass then, and still is.
I’m really excited for this new name thing.
I might have to have a poll or something. If I’m creative enough to come up with more than one. Hahahaha
