Graceland Meet Recap: Burning Love in the Water
Our athletes are on fire. Not just at club meets, but at high school meets too (yes, we see those results 👀).
It may still be early in the season, but the momentum is undeniable. Winter training is ramping up, the grind is real, and the results are already showing. Simply put: we’re looking good… we’re looking HOT.
The 5th Annual Graceland Swim Meet was nothing short of a hunka hunka burning excitement. For three days, the pool became the Heartbreak Hotel for anyone who underestimated LSAC.
From the very first race, our swimmers declared “It’s Now or Never.” The crowd was all shook up as blue-suede confidence and relentless determination filled every lane. Championship cuts were earned left and right as our athletes took care of business.
By the final session, the finishes were electric, the smiles were huge, and the message was clear:
LSAC doesn’t just compete, we dominate.
A massive thank-you to all our volunteers. Running a meet takes serious effort, and we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you, thanks a lot.
