PAC Fall Invitational

Hello GAC Families. We hope everyone is staying warm and healthy this fall season. Last weekend we completed our 3rd meet, the PAC Fall invitational, and it was a success! Our swimmers completed 166 swims, and 92 were best times, resulting in an improvement rate of 79%. Our swimmers did a great job; they stepped up and raced with determination in each event; it was beautiful to see! Our very own Katherine Zhang broke 5 club records and 1 Oregon state record. Way to go, Katherine! A big thank you to our supportive parents who were volunteering at the meet and cheering on each of our swimmers. Thanks to everyone for making this meet a success.
