Seeing the IHSA State qualifiers in the 100 back really hits. I’ve raced most of these guys for years: HS and club meets, State, Futures, and Juniors. A lot of respect. As a senior, getting one more shot to line up with them this weekend means everything. Grateful for the journey

[Marcus Witkowski @SwimMarcusSwim]

Great day at #IHSA Sectionals yesterday with the team. Had strong races in the 100 fly and 100 back, and broke three Fremd school records along the way. Chasing a sub-49 in the 100 back next weekend at State. Proud of how #Fremd competed and supported each other. Great job, Vikes

Kicking off my senior year a little differently: first stop is #Speedo Winter Juniors in Austin, TX with my club. Super excited to race there!

After that, it’s time to jump into the high school season. Big goals this year: go after the Fremd records in the 100 Back and 100 Fly, make the State final, and hopefully bring some medals home.

Let’s make this last HS season a special one 💚💛💪

What a season.

From high school meets to Futures, this year was packed with moments I’ll never forget. New PBs, cut times, and some amazing opportunities to race at meets like Speedo Sectionals, TYR Futures, Illinois Seniors and the Duel in the Pool with Team Illinois.

I got to compete with and learn from some of the fastest swimmers out there, met cool people, and witnessed a lot of positive, heartwarming moments that reminded me why I love this sport.

I’ve grown a lot this season. In and out of the pool.

Thanks to my @reachaquatics coaches and teammates. Couldn’t have done it without you.

Now it’s time for a bit of vacation and rest, then it’s back to training. Eyes on Speedo Winter Juniors, Illinois HS State, and NCSA Nationals. And of course, the biggest step ahead: finding the right college to call home.

Grateful for the journey so far and excited for what’s next. Let's go!

Awesome weekend at TYR Futures in Madison, WI. Dropped a PB in the 100 Back and got the cut for the Speedo Winter Junior Championships this December in Austin, TX! 💪

Racing with so many fast swimmers was a learning experience in itself. Grateful for the opportunity.

Two weeks out from a good meet at Speedo Sectionals in Minneapolis. Scored PBs in both the 100 Back and 200 Back 💪

Now it’s time for Futures in Madison, WI! I’ll be racing the 50, 100, 200 Back and 100 Fly. Let’s go!

Spotted @ColeKmet at O’Hare yesterday on my way to Minneapolis for Speedo Sectionals 🙌

Not just a beast on the field—he was out there supporting Special Olympians as airport ambassadors. Super cool moment, had to grab a pic.

Being great isn’t just about what you do—it’s how you show up for others too. Bringing that mindset with me into the pool this weekend 💪

Who knew Chipotle in Schaumburg was the secret training ground for the future NU O-line? 😅 @JohnnyOB20 @Owen_Jakubczak @Owen_Fors
