Swimmers of the Week: Week 4
Michael Geraghty
Michael is one of our oldest swimmers on the team, and has been around swim team for a while. Our coaches wanted to note how much Michael has improved in this season alone. He has taken off several seconds on all his races. With very few boys in his age group, Michael swims anything we ask him to, even the hardest events. Thanks for keeping such a positive attitude this season Michael!
Emily Matthews
Emily has been on our team for several years as well. With only 4 girls in her age group, Emily has had to step up and swim at least 3 individual events per meet, often times many of the hard events. She has improved a great deal this season with all strokes, especially backstroke. This week with the sudden illness of one of her teammates, Emily tried new events and did great! Emily, with such a small group of 13/14 girls, we are so glad you are one of them!
Katherine Simons
This is Katherine's first year on swim team. While watching her brother swim with us last year, she was inspired to come out and join us for this season. Katherine is always asking coaches on ways she can improve and how to become the best swimmer she can be. She has been working extra hard on breaststroke these past few weeks and did her best breaststroke yet in the meet this week. Way to go Katherine!
Andy Ibarguen, MaryKate Moorman, and Maggie Watts
Andy, MaryKate, and Maggie are our oldest swimmers on the team this year. They've all been members of this team throughout their youth and high school, and have contributed SO much over the years. With summer birthdays, they all were eligible to swim for one last summer after their freshman year of college. Our coaches wanted to personally thank them for swimming with us for one last summer. They are all truly leaders and great role models for our younger kids, showing that you can never be too old to be a Stingray. Good luck this week with your final races Andy, MK, and Maggie!
