Coaches Shout Out: 

Meet Awards:

  • Heart & Hustle: Rylee Motz did an excellent job with the meet weekend as a whole but especially by listening to her race plans from her coaches which allowed her to gain 2 new best times in her 100 backstroke and in her 50 butterfly. She also was a superstar cheerleader for her teammates, putting in the “heart” of heart and hustle, and asking the coaches or watching the lanes so she knew when another AMAC swimmer was in the water so she could cheer them on! From all of this and more excellent work this weekend, Rylee showed her coaches how much she loves swimming and how much she wants feedback to get better in any way possible! Great work, Rylee! 

  • Swim of the Meet: Kolton Clarke did an amazing job this weekend in his first ever 100 butterfly! He has always wanted to swim more fly and when he got the opportunity to do so, he went above and beyond an amazing swim! Kolton dropped 12.60 seconds from his estimated time of 2:10.21, which resulted in an amazing 1:57.61! Although it was a long race, Kolton returned to his coaches with a huge smile on his face wondering when he can swim it again showing his dedication, hard work, and goal of having FUN in this race! One of Kolton’s season goals this year was to swim 100 fly and it was a huge success! Congrats, Kolton! 

  • Shout out to the three AMAC swimmers that took on the challenge of the freestyle Eliminator this weekend. Olivia Liebenberg, Dain Burnell and Rixtonn Biffart stepped up to the block with determination each time and giving it their all. Rixtonn was only one round away from advancing to the final two in the 25 m free eliminator! Well done guys!.
