Meet Awards:
-
Swim of the Meet: goes to Carleigh Gainsborough for an absolutely stellar performance on her 200m breaststroke. This race was not only a HUGE best time (by nearly 12 seconds!) but this time also snagged her first SCM Winter Festivals qualifying time. Carleigh impressed all three coaches by going into this first swim of the Friday session with a positive attitude and goal of a best time. She did this by lengthening out her stroke and finding power even when tired at the end of her race. The coaches know how hard she has been working to qualify for this meet, we are all so proud of you Carleigh and cannot wait to see what you are able to accomplish in Edmonton this weekend!

Heart and Hustle: goes to Aliya Seeley for her 200IM in the 14 year-old finals. Aliya told Coach Lauren before warm-up that she had her eyes set on a “Swim of the Session” and gave her race plan on how she would execute an amazing swim. With her eyes on the prize, Aliya finished the race in 3rd place, from a 6th place entry in finals and completed the race with a 2.60 best time! Not only did Aliya come in with a winning attitude, she asked her coaches for advice on how to better execute the swim she wanted to have and then left it all in the water. This swim, for all three coaches on deck, was amazing to watch and the epitome of a “Heart and Hustle” type of race. Well done, Aliya!
