AAAA’s Quality Proves Dominant at Age Group Champs
With a team of 18 swimmers, Ad Astra outperformed every team in Missouri Valley Swimming (Kansas and Missouri) at this past weekend’s Age Group Championship meet. 16 swimmers (89% of our roster) contributed by way of individual or relay points to our team’s total – an unparallel quality of depth and performance among competing teams. Our swimmers swam to 67 best times and we had representation in every age and gender (9-10 girls/boys, 11-12 girls/boys and 13-14 girls/boys). Quality swims here!
