Last week, Sky Academy Sports Scholar Siobhan-Marie OConnor teamed up with Athlete Mentor Tom Reed for a Sky Sports Living for Sport School visit at Siobhans old secondary school, Ralph Allen College in Bath. With the swimming qualifiers for the 2016 Rio Olympics fast approaching we caught up with Sports Scholar Siobhan and heres what she had to say…What has it been like coming back to your old school and seeing some of your old teachers? OConnor was joined on her visit by Sky Sports athlete mentor Tom Reed Its been really nice to come back to my old school and walk the corridors that are so familiar. I have really happy memories of my time here, I loved being able to see my friends every day. My teachers were so great with helping me balance school work with training, so its really nice to come back today with Sky Academy.And how was meeting Tom Reed and being involved in the Sky Sports Living for Sport session? Ive actually seen Tom around the Bath University campus so it was a bit weird seeing him at my old school. The session was great too, the kids looked like they were really enjoying themselves. I would have loved to be part of something like this when I was at school. How did you get into swimming?I started swimming when I was seven years old. My Dad is really into his sports so its safe to say I tried a lot of sports before I tried swimming. Who was your childhood hero? Why?Rebecca Adlington for sure. I remember watching her double gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics on TV. Shes such an inspiration and it was so amazing being on the same team with her at London 2012. She is such a lovely lady and has always been so kind and supportive.How many hours do you spend training a week?A lot! We have 10 swimming sessions a week - two every day apart from Wednesdays and Saturdays where we only have one. On average Ill cover 6km a session. On top of that we also have five land sessions, which can be anything from gym sessions to strength and conditioning. Whats the worst thing about swimming?I love swimming which is why I do it but the sacrifices to be the best swimmer I can, can be hard. I cant just drop everything and go out and see my friends. I also have to be careful with what I eat although I do love a box of Bens cookies! You have to treat yourself every now and then!What was it like competing at the London 2012 Olympics? OConnor is setting her sights on a successful Olympics this summer in Rio London was an unforgettable experience, definitely a career highlight for me. I was only 16 when selected and I was the youngest Team GB swimmer. What does Rio mean to you?The Olympic Games is a huge opportunity to compete at the highest level and an incredible, life-changing experience for any athlete. Im four years older, and like to think four years wiser than my first Olympics, so Im going into the next couple of weeks and months prepared and will be the very best I can be. Whats it like being a Sky Academy Sports Scholar?Its so great, Im one of 11 scholars in a variety of different sports. The best thing about it is that were all on the same journey, with the same end goal, so we have a lot in common. How has Sky Academy helped you in your swimming career to date?The support we get is unbelievable. The scholarship has helped me leave no stone unturned. Ive been able to go to altitude camps, and Ive just come back from a training camp in Australia, which was so beneficial. Were you into sports at school?I was yes, I did PE as an A-level at Ralph Allen. As a child I was into most sports, in fact there probably wasnt a sport I didnt try! However, as I got a little older, swimming became the focus and other sports took a back seat. I still follow most sports as a spectator and support Bath rugby and Arsenal!What was your favourite subject?I really loved PE and I think it has really helped me with my swimming. With swimming being a power to weight sport its so important being able to understand how the body works. Did you struggle with swimming and school? OConnor took part in a sports session during her visit I really did, and I ended up dropping A-levels as I couldnt manage the work load. I was missing lessons because of training or competitions. I even remember falling asleep a lot in lessons!

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Barry Odom has tried to maintain optimism throughout his tumultuous first season as coach at Missouri.The Tigers (3-8, 1-6 Southeastern Conference) have struggled with everything from closing out games to scheme adjustment, as well as a string of season-ending injuries.Among the biggest bright spots was the development of the running game, especially the emergence of freshman Damarea Crockett, who eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing in Saturdays 63-37 loss to Tennessee . He rushed 24 times for a season-high 225 yards and a touchdown, surpassing former quarterback Brad Smiths school record for rushing yards by a freshman.Early Sunday, Crockett was arrested for suspicion of possession of marijuana and he was suspended for the season finale Friday against Arkansas.Odom expressed frustration with the incident , but also hopes others can learn from it.Damareas done a lot of great things and hes going to have a tremendous future, Odom said. He realizes one decision obviously affects this football program and it affects him. Its the discipline of doing everything right every day. Kids make mistakes and Im going to use every one of them that I can as a teachable moment on how we can become better.With 153 carries for 1,062 yards and 11 touchdowns, Crockett is Missouris leading rusher by more than 300 yards and ranks fourth in the SEC in total rushing, above names like Georgias Nick Chubb and LSUs Leonard Fouurnette.dddddddddddd Arkansas (7-4, 3-4) ranks seventh in the conference in rushing yards allowed, surrendering 216.5 yards per game.Odom said replacing Crocketts production will likely be a collective effort between Ish Witter and Nate Strong.Itll be those two, Odom said. I thought Nate did some good things the other day for sure. Still, I said right after the game, I think hes got a really bright future ahead of him. Hes got size, hes got speed. Hes getting an understanding of the tempo and pace of the game.Witter has 157 carries for 738 yards and six touchdowns, which ranks 15th in the conference. He had career highs for attempts and rushing yards against Tennessee with 31 carries for 163 yards and two touchdowns.Ish did a great job the other night, Odom said. Im proud of what Ish has done this year. Hes fought through some injuries. He runs with more energy, with a little more purpose than he has. Hes done a good job.Witter attributes much of the teams success running the ball to its offensive line.Just being patient and reading the holes, Witter said. Our O-linemen theyve been doing their jobs. Theyre definitely making holes, so just figuring out how to be patient ... then see what happens.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25. ' ' '
