UC Santa Cruz Success:
HIGH SCHOOL:Â Honor roll at Yorba Linda High School. Team MVP, CIF finalist, part of the USA national synchronized swim team before doing swim. Swam for La Mirada Aquatics.
PERSONAL:  Parents are Olga Molotilva and Neker Meza. Calls her parents the most influential people in her life "especially since they both are immigrants who came to the United States, and when times got rough they kept persevering. I wanna be just like them."
Chose UC Santa Cruz because "I fell in love with the campus and it being integrated in nature as well as it being just far enough from home." Out of the pool loves to read, go to the beach, hang with friends, and photography.
