Celebrating Our Volunteers Even more impressive than the All Star Qualifying Times were our incredible volunteers! A massive shoutout to Chi Nguyen, who mastered the brand-new starter machine with confidence and precision. Renee Niebylski took multitasking to a new level as our backup timer while keeping swimmers and timers on track. And we can’t forget Ribbons by Robyn, who skillfully crafted awards for each Bannockburn swimmer. Thank you all—you make these meets possible!

A Personal Note from Your A-Rep

We all love a post-meet Shake Shack run, but let’s make sure we clean up before we leave! After our meet at Regency Estates, I found myself, alone, picking up plastic bottles, wrappers, and temporary tattoos litter. Was I excited about this opportunity?  NO...not really. Next time, let’s all share the cleanup award. Parents, I know you think your kids are fantastic, but…let’s be honest, they don’t clean up after themselves! 😉 Let’s be great guests and keep our team areas as clean we we found them.

Thanks for everything, and looking forward to another amazing week!
