🌟🐬 Dolphin All Stars 🐬🌟

6U & 7-8 Dolphin All Stars

💥 Henry Van Blarigan (6U)

Henry crushed his best times and had incredible swims. He brought non-stop energy to the pool deck and to his teammates!

⚡ Luke Lewis (7-8)

Luke was locked in and it showed, not just in his swimming, but in his whole aura. He dropped time and brought his medley relay home strong on the freestyle leg. 

9-10 & 11-12 Dolphin All Stars

🔥 Natalie Evans (11/12)

Natalie was ready for all of her races and had a great attitude! When she wasn’t swimming she was at the end of the pool cheering for her teammates. She left everything she had during the freestyle relay and was able to pull out a win for her team! Keep it up Natalie!

💪 Conner Koning (9/10)

Conner has a great attitude and is always cheering people on making sure they feel included. He pushes himself because he wants to improve! Great job Conner!

13-14 & 15-18 Dolphin All Stars

🌊 Ellie Holdren (13/14)

She’s consistently sweet and uplifting for her teammates and brings her all to her races. She’s a joy in the water at both meets and practices!

💣 William Campbell (15-18)

He brought a great energy to this meet and his races, in both his individuals and relays. He wholeheartedly gave it his all this weekend.
