Britt joins teammate Lauren Driscoll, 14, who was also 13 when she qualified, as two of the youngest swimmers in the trials.
“We have some pretty spectacular stuff going on up here,” FLA coach Ian Cross said. “Our youngest phenom girl made the trials cut and won the event. I thought that was pretty darn special. She is pretty psyched.”
