Swimmer of the Meet (December 17 Superior)

8 & Under

Christopher Kirby

Christopher had never done the butterfly at a meet before. He approached a coach before the meet and asked for advice and a little coaching. He swam it legally and placed 4th. Thanks for being such a fast learner and for trying new things!

Laurel Backstrom

Laurel hadn't ever done a flip turn in a meet, but we told her to try one for her first race and then come seek feedback. She did an awesome flip turn and we gave her feedback about her turn and her breathing. During her second race we could tell that she was concentrating on both pieces of advice and her race looked really strong! Way to go Laurel!

10 & Under

Annika Jarvela

Annika sought out feedback after all her races and she made three regional qualifying times at this meet. Nice work Annika!

12 & Under

Carrie Fischer

The Superior meet was Carrie's first meet as a Northern and she had some great races as well as sought out feedback from the coaches. She also was put in the 50 fly without ever swimming itbefore. She was a little nervous, but asked for advice before her race and she swam it legally. Way to go Carrie!

Sonja Buraglio

Sonja was a huge help with the 8 and under swimmers and whenever she wasn't swimming she was found at the end of the lane cheering for all the swimmers.

Addy Swor

Whenever you looked along the sidelines or towards the end of your lane, you may have seen Addy there cheering for you. Thanks for bringing spirit and cheer to the meet Addie!

12 & Under

Jenna Olson

Jenna showed true sportsmanship at the Grand Rapids meet a girl from anoterh team broke her goggles right before a race. Jenna was in the next heat and lent her own goggles to the swimmer! Thanks for representing the Northerns in a positive way!

Kenzie Zamzow

Kenzie swam his first 500 at a meet. That's a long race Kenzie, and you broke 8 minutes which is a great accomplishment! Way to go!

13 & Over

Zach Deming

Zach worked really well with our 8 and under group at the meet. Thanks Zach for being a great leader and helping the younger members of our team!

Swimmer of the Meet (December 3, Superior)

8 & Under

Makoto Sudoh

Makoto couldn't breath during his relay, and instead of getting out or stopping, he rolled to his back and finished so that the rest of his relay could swim. You're a great team player Makoto! Thanks!

Zach Johnson

Zach listened to the coaches and altered his stroke during his race. That's tricky to do, so way to go Zach! Thanks for paying attention and listening to the coaches!

10 & Under

Copper Petermeier

Copper talked to the coaches about his events, dropped lots of time, and had some great starts. He's been working hard on his starts and it's really starting to show! 

Ella Gish

Ella listened to coaches during a swim and changed her breathing pattern in the middle of her race! Thanks for adapting and taking feedback Ella!

12 & Under

Maren Shamblott

Maren Shamblott showed great sportsmanship at the meet. She not only helped 8 and under swimmers from our team out of the water, but also reached down and helped younger swimmers from other teams! Thanks for showing the other teams how caring the Northerns are!

13 & Over

Kaylee Matuszak

Kaylee congratulated swimmers (from other teams) that swam in the lanes next to her after her event. Thanks for showing respect, kindness, and sportsmanship to the other teams Kaylee!
