In conjunction with the Anderson Area YMCA Makos, the Foothills Area YMCA Swim Team travelled with ten of our 13&over swimmers to Meet of Champs in Brentwood, TN for our final meet of 2024. Our swimmers put everything they had into the weekend and had some phenomenal swims. Jay Owens added another event to his YMCA National Championship lineup in the 200 free taking him to six events; Jay also broke team records in the 200 and 400 IM. Chelsea Burkhart broke three team records of her own in the 200 breast, 200 and 400 IM. We saw another seven ESSZ Sectional cuts, five SC Swimming State cuts, and seven YMCA Regional cuts.
Another huge accomplishment for FAY swimmer Wally Siggins in December, we had a swimmer compete for Team USA in Guatemala City, Guatemala at the 2024 Tetrathlon U15 World Championships. This is the first competition of its kind for athletes of this age. 13 year old Wally competed against young athletes from around the world in swimming, laser running, and obstacle course racing. What an amazing achievement!
