Hi Team!
Wow! How wonderful was last Saturday's Conference meet?!? I promise I'm going to sit down and do a couple of meet recaps once things settle down, but for now, I'd like to recognize three guys who did a spectacular job at Conference (and all year!). This week's Athlete's of the Week are Nick O'Brien, Ian Hawley, and Benjamin Todd.
Nick dove his way onto the podium with his 7th place finishing score of 275.70. This is Nick's first year diving for AW-K, and he has done a fantastic job improving his technique and scoring needed points all season. Congratulations, Nick! I see many podiums in your future!
Ian swam a season-best 50 free and dropped another 3 seconds in his 100 back on Saturday to land on the podium in 6th place! Ian also swam on the JV 400 FR which finished 11th. Ian is an incredibly hard worker, and is totally deserving of being named Athlete of the Week!
Ben has been a huge varsity points contributor all season, and Saturday was no exception! He dropped 3 seconds off his 200 free to finish in 7th place, and he took 8th place in the 100 fly. He was a key member of the 200 FR which finished in 4th, and the 400 FR which took 3rd. He went 4/4 on podiums on Saturday! Ben has also trained extremely hard this season, and I can't wait to see what he accomplishes on Saturday!
Congratulations, guys! I am very proud of you!
With AW-K Pride,
Coach Vicki
