Donahue Swims With Nation's Best

             Over this past week the best 18&under swimmers in the United States gathered at the IUPUI Aquatic Center, in Indianapolis, for USA Swimming’s Junior Nationals.  This is a facility with tons of history; they hosted US Olympic Trials on four different occasions.  For the first time in a long time GTSA was represented at a USA Swimming national level competition.  Ally Donahue swam the 100 Breaststroke.  She also time trialed the 200 Breaststroke and the 50 Freestyle, where she went a lifetime best. 

              This was a great experience for Ally; she gained the irreplaceable experience of rubbing elbows with the best swimmers in the country.  This puts a cap on a great long course season for GTSA.  I hope that all of you from parents, to swimmers are as proud and excited as the coaching staff is.  We cannot wait to carry this success into short course!  Be sure to congratulate Ally when you see her!
