Swimmer of the week goes to……

Swimmer of the Week 2

We would like to thank all their Gators for their team spirit at the Columbine Knolls meet.  It is always amazing to look down at the end of the pool and see other swimmers cheering their buddies, friends or family on.  Keep it up!!

Lexi Ballard was selected this week because:
– for not looking at the other swimmers in her 25 breast (first time ever)
– didn’t let getting DQd affect the rest of her meet
