Last Update of the Season

Hello!

Here it is, the last season update:

State Championship recap 

Pinnacle swim & dive had a fantastic State Championship meet. We had many personal best times, all-american automatic and consideration qualifying times, new school records, and many top 4 finishes! The girls placed 3rd overall, with Desert Vista only 15 points ahead of us! The boys placed 10th overall with only having a total of 4 boys score (Aaron Apel, Ryan Klein, James Hughes, Matthew Mai in 4 individual races and 2 relays). That is truly incredible!

And a BIG thank you to all our State Alternates (Blake, Hunter, Max, Kelsie, Jessie, and Casey) that came and supported the team by carrying equipment, counting, cheering their hearts out! :)

The coaches are so proud of everyone's efforts throughout the season. We enjoyed watching you reach your goals and can't wait to help you reach new ones next season. Most importantly, we loved seeing you grow in character by being decisive, an overcomer, noble, trustworthy, hardworking, obedient, loving, kind and great at discerning. You consistently believed in yourselves and had positiveattitudes along the way. That's what makes us one of the best teams in the state! DON'T HOLD BACK!
