Missy Franklin, swimmer
This Regis Jesuit High School senior is considered among the world’s best swimmers and should be one of the main attractions in this summer’s London Olympic Games. The honors student from Centennial has two world records and a million-dollar smile that’ll no doubt rake in millions more when she turns professional—a declaration she’s put off so she can swim at the college level. We’d call Franklin a future star, but that would be off the mark. She’s a star right now.
