Coaches Shout Out: 

Pronghorn Classic: Congratulations to all of the AMAC swimmers who attended the Pronghorn Classic in Lethbridge over the weekend! We had amazing attendance and the coaches were all extremely proud of how we looked, racing both short and long course! The coaches have a haul of medals and ribbons to pass out to AMAC swimmers this week and we will get them to the athletes ASAP. Some of the medals and ribbons were not finished by the end of Sunday’s session so if your swimmer is missing a couple, don’t worry! We will be picking up the remainder of them from LASC in Edmonton this weekend. 

Swim Meet Awards:

• Heart and Hustle: The Heart and Hustle award for Pronghorn Classic goes to Amelia Grisak! Amelia had a stellar weekend of performances, following all of her race plans to make the technical changes she has been working on to get better! Amelia also brought the “heart” by spending her time, when not racing herself, cheering on her teammates during their races. She was always ready for warm-up and prepared to race on deck before her swims! Amelia was a positive light on deck all weekend and the coaches are extremely proud of how far she has come this year. Congratulations and excellent work, Amelia! Keep it up! 

• Swim of the Meet: The Swim(s) of the Meet for Pronghorn Classic goes to Caleb Martin! Choosing a singular swim of Caleb’s that was a stand-out to the coaches was almost impossible as his swims were all stellar performances! Caleb made breakthroughs this weekend in his technique on all four strokes working to maintain a streamlined body position and executed the feedback and race plans from his coaches phenomenally! He was positive on deck throughout the entire weekend about his races and, while between races he cheered on his teammates, before and during his own swims he was focused on his own racing and improving individually in the water! Very well done, Caleb! We are all so proud of you! 

 

Special shout-out to some AMAC first-time qualifiers, Dain Burnell and Olivia McWilliams! Dain achieved his first-ever Festival time in a super speedy 200m backstroke! And Olivia snagged her first-ever Provincial Trials time in the 200m backstroke! Congratulations to our new qualifiers!
