March Swimmer of the Month
Age Group 1
The AG1 group had many strong performers at the State meet, including Cullen Kelly's 3 event wins in the 50 and 100 Free and the 100 IM. Cullen also ended up placing top-3 in his remaining events, which helped him secure a 2nd place high point finish for 10&U boys! Cullen's 50 and 100 Free events also placed him into the season's top-100 rankings for 10&U boys for those respective events across the country! Cullen then went on to swim at the SWAGR meet 2 weeks later, and secured top-5 finishes in his 100 Fly, 50 Free, and 100 Free! Congratulations on a great season!

A big congrats to Vaughn Ainsworth for being selected as Blue Group's Swimmer of the Month for March! Vaughn had an amazing short course season; his hard work and persistance to keep improving his free and back technique has helped him get his first ever AG State times this season. And to top his off his stellar season, Vaughn dropped 25 seconds in the 1000 free, earning him an 11th place finish at AG State, as well as, a best time in the 100 back. Vaughn also proved to be a vaulable teammate at State when he stepped up and help our boys 13-14 B relay teams in the freestyle relays and backstroke for the medley. Way to go Vaughn!
