Congratulations to all of our Excel swimmers who swam in the 2024 VCC Grand Prix meet this past weekend. While this was a very short 1 day format, we still were able to squeeze a lot of fast swimming into both sessions. A special congratulations goes out to our 4 new team records setters: Owen Akard, Jack Calhoun, Maya Foerster and Savannah Copa-Brzozowski and to Matthew Amodio for hitting 2 new NCSA cuts in the same race!
Thank you to all our coaches, officials and parent volunteers for your efforts to host another successful meet.
