SWAT Finishes Second Overall at Sprint Pentathlon
Thirty swimmers from the Southern Waters Aquatic Team participated in the CMSA Spring Pentathlon and Spirit of Mobile Long Course Open. SWAT finished second overall, with boys placing second and girls placing third.
Coach Lauren Bonfe Culbertson noted, “The stroke technique we’ve been working on at practice definitely paid off at this meet. Swimmers achieved personal best times, top finishes, and made new Southeastern Championship cuts.”
Harrison Constantini, 10, of Daphne, won the high-point trophy in the 9-10 boys division with first place finishes in the 50-meter freestyle, 50-, 100-meter butterfly, 50-meter breaststroke, and second place finishes in his remaining four events. Constantini has qualifying times in all eight events swam for the Southeastern Swimming Championships to be held in July. He set new SWAT team records for 9-10 boys in all eight events.
“Harrison’s competitive spirit and fantastic work ethic led to a very successful meet. His leadership is recognized by coaching staff and teammates. He competes with fire in his eyes and a smile on his face,” said Coach Culbertson.
