Molly Houlcon, a 15-year-old girl, may be nicknamed "Smalls" by her coaches at the Tucson Ford Dealers Aquatics in Arizona, but her accomplishments have been anything but spectacular. At the Spring Junior Nationals, she broke Natalie Coughlin's 13-14 National Age Group (NAG) record in the 400 yard Individual Medley (IM) with a 4: 12.43. In November 2003, Molly, only a freshman, dominated the Arizona state high school meet. In short course, not only did she set the NAG record in the 400 yard IM, but she also turned in two No. 2 times— 200 back (1: 58.35) and 200 IM (2: 02.57).
