Congratulations to the 10 Excel Swimmers who competed this week in Florida. While most of us swam only in the 2024 USA Swimming Spring Cup, one swimmers, Zaki Ibrahim, also traveled across the state to Sarasota where he also competed in the Open Water Junior National Meet.
While the outdoor venue presented us with some new obstacles, all 10 of our swimmers swam fast and had a blast. Full meet report below.
Open water Junior Nationals
Zaki Ibrahim was our sole swimmer in Sarasota and he competed in the 5k race. This was Zaki's second open water race so he's gaining valuable experience. While the beginning of his race saw him near the front of the pack, he lost his cap about halfway and pushed through with a little more resistance. He finished in one hour and 2 minutes to finish first in our LSC. Congratulations to Zaki!

All of our parent volunteers play a vital role in hosting meets. We simply could not host meets in your absence. While most jobs take little training or experience, meet officials go through an educational and training process that enables them to help officiate at all meets. In fact, our own Excel officials have outnumbered the host team officials in both our first two meets. We are very grateful to our officiating crew but are always looking for new members.
