Stingray Update - February 28, 2025

Elizabeth Simpson

Dear Stingray Nation, 

Congratulations to all Stingrays who swam at the YMCA 9 & Over State Championships in Saginaw this past weekend.  We have A LOT of State Champions and top finishers! Out of 12 teams, we finished as Runner-Up State Champions!

An extra special congratulations to Kinley Birmelin for setting a State Meet Record in the Girls 11/12 200 Yard Butterfly with a time of 2:25:79 minutes!  This replaces a record set by a former Stingray in 2019.   

PRACTICE UPDATE

TODAY is the last day of the regular season practice schedule. There is a slight change to Senior and Gold this evening at North Farmington, as communicated earlier in the week: Senior is 6-8pm; Gold is 6:30-8pm.

Starting this Sunday, only those swimmers who will be attending the YMCA Zone & YMCA National Meets should be attending practices.
