The Stapleton Stingrays finished their season in second place at the Colorado State Summer Swim Club state competition. They also finished undefeated in dual meets in the Metro League.
Coach Rich LeDuc says the group continues to meet expectations ahead of schedule, moving from Division Three to Division One in just five years. Teams advance entirely on points scored during each season.
“The key to our success required strong performances by our swimmers and a total team effort,” says LeDuc. Swimmers prepared for and competed at their highest level at each outing. LeDuc also recognized his swimmers for supporting each other during each competition, an important component of teamwork.
