Her home team is American Energy Swim Club in Edmond where her brother also swims.

The homeschool student is the daughter of Ladd and Leigh Ellen Lafferty. When asked about her decision, Lafferty responded, “I’m thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to study and swim at the University of Kansas! Huge thank you to my family, friends and coaches for supporting me along the way. Can’t wait to be a Jayhawk! Rock Chalk!”
