It’s an exciting time to be an aquatic Panther! The MPA Swim Club finished their season at the State competition last night with an abundance of achievements, spirit, and excitement for next year!
The celebrations began last week, when all of the swimmers competed in the Catholic Athletic Association Championship preliminary meet. More than 1,000 swimmers swam, and the ranks were tough: only the top 16 swimmers in each event were going to advance to the championship finals at the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center. By the end of the meet, MPA had several Panthers very giddy about swimming in The U’s pool!
The CAA Championship was a huge meet, but most importantly, another opportunity for these swimmers to shine. All of their hard work, determination, and progress throughout the season was exemplified in these races. On the first night, the MPA first and second grade boys medley relay won their race, and the boys third and fourth medley placed second! And at the girls’ meet, the team placed eighth overall!
What started out as a team of three in 2004 has evolved into a team of State champions. We are so proud of our young athletes and can’t wait for them to continue doing what they love. Click here for full meet results, view photos from the meets, and give our swimmers a huge congratulations!
