Great Work at the LIAC Spring Kickoff! |
|
|
Congratulations to our athletes who raced at the LIAC Spring Kickoff in Long Island, NY! Not only did our athletes kick off the 2023 long course season, they also gained valuable racing experience en-route to many personal best times.
Great work to Milly Birch for posting the fourth-fastest time in the country so far this season in the 12-year-old girls 200 backstroke (2:30.75). The AGUA coaches would like to thank the following athletes for standing out as RAD teammates: Daniel Andguladze, Liza Genis, Vincent Gookin, Charlotte Hammon, Sadie Hargis, and Karan Thakker.
