Pickett and Paternoster, both New Jersey natives, met when they were young and training in their respective sports.
"We started training at this place when I was like 12 years old and Amy might have been 10, so I knew her growing up from there," Pickett told People magazine in an interview published Monday.
"We never talked, and then she went off to Princeton and I went to Pitt. We came home on a college break and saw each other at a party and hit it off."
