Summer Fun: Summer League Champs and Banquet

Summer League Divisionals and the end of season banquet are over. Another great season is behind us, and planning has already begun for next year!

Mary Grace practices a dive during warm-ups.


Coach Heather talks to Olivia about the meet.

Olivia waits for her turn to race.
Emma tests the water before her backstroke race.
Olivia is all smiles. She loves swimming!
All three girls did a fabulous job in their races and were rewarded at the banquet. Mary Grace got 1st place medal for both of her individual races (butterfly and IM) and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place relay ribbons. She also got the High Point Award for 11-12 year old girls and a Most Laps Swam Award for the Dolphin Dive.
Emma placed 1st in her backstroke race and 2nd in freestyle (missed 1st by a split second!) and was awarded medals for those events. All three of her relays won 1st place. Emma also scored the High Point Award for 9-10 year old girls. Emma is our least enthusiastic swimmer, though she does an exceptional job with little effort. Both Mary Grace and Emma earned a spot on the extra stairstep relay, since they were the fastest freestylers on our team in their age groups.
Olivia won two 1st place medals (breaststoke and butterfly), as well as 1st place ribbons for both of her relays.
Even Bailey got in on the action at the banquet. He served as a lifeguard. He should have received an award for putting up with the craziness!! Doesn't he look excited?
