Coach Updates

Jonah Saya was selected to the Colorado All-Star team and will compete in Lawrence, Kansas this weekend.  The top ten female and male swimmers in the state are chosen in the  9-10, 11-12, and 13-14 age groups to compete together as Team Colorado.  It is a great accomplishment.  Catherine was also selected to coach the team with 5 other Colorado coaches.

Bonnie Brandon and Coach Andy Niemann will be travelling to Texas for Bonnie to compete at the Grand Prix series this weekend.  The meet will include most of the top swimmers in the country and is great long course racing preparation for the upcoming Olympic Trials.

MACS was awarded the Silver Medal for club excellence for the fourth year in a row.  This award is given to the top 21-100 teams in the nation based on swimmer performance.  We were 60th on the list which is a huge accomplishment.  Swimmers whose times qualified to earn points for MACS were Bonnie Brandon, John Martens, Reed Mathews, Lauren Stoeckle, and Jeremiah Zgcyliznski.
