WAS IT WORTH IT? DEFINITELY!
Future collegiate swimmers Abby Kapeller of @tonkagirlsswim and Sophie Macy of @ChanGSwimDive looked at the 2020 season as one of enjoyment with teammates, a year of mental growth. One they wouldn't have traded away

200 Individual Medley goes to Senior Chanhassen Ace Sophie Macy with a spunky 2:04.5—sweet underwaters and such crisp turns! EP’s Mallory Miller 2nd, Tonka’s Audrey Soetanto 3rd — top 3 athletes all well under state qualifying standard of 2:10🏊‍♀️⚓️

Would love to see Addie Diaz in a state meet if MN had one this year— Diaz would be <1:50⚓️
