On Sunday, February 22nd . We took 11 swimmers to the Knox County YMCA for Jr. Districts, and 2 of those swimmers made district cuts and brought our total to 25 District qualifying athletes. We even had 1 make a state qualifying time!
This past weekend 24 of the 25 swimmers were able to participate in the 2026 Illini District Championship meet in Springfield. Friday night was time trials and I love this part of the meet weekend because it gives swimmers an extra chance to make district/state times . Guess what? We had swimmers do just that! We had 2 swimmers qualify in more events for Districts AND we had a state qualifying time in the 1650 with a time of 22 minutes and 22 seconds.
To say we are proud of every single kid that has swam this season is an understatement!
Next stop , State 💙🐬
