Hi Blue Herons Families,

I'm sure you've missed my emails this week, so I thought I'd send one more :)

What an incredible 2025 Swim Season!  We had the largest team to date, with 190 registered swimmers.  We earned the Runner Up Award for our Dual Meet season, which means that we placed 2nd in our Division for our Dual Meet performance.

We finished the season strong with a great showing at the championship meet last weekend.  You can find a full list of results attached to this email.  Please note, changes made to relays, do not show up in the results.

Aside from several best time swims, we had eleven swimmers place in the Top 8 high point scorers in their age-groups.  

6-under girls: Claire Bunting, Ava Erickson, Charlee Baise
6-under boys:  Will Jeager, Briggs Bonnstetter

7-8 girls: McKoy Bonnstetter, Annie Oates
7-8 boys:  Harrison Kirby

9-10 girls: Olivia Oates

11-12 boys:  Jude Blackburn

15-18 girls:  Nora Hetherington

** Our 7-8 Girls Free Relay broke the Williamson County Record with a time of 1:11.82.
Annie Oates, McKoy Bonnstetter, Ryley Bonnstetter, Samantha Jaeger

*** We have several new team records... be on the lookout for those changes in the next few weeks.

Our very own Coach Sophia earned the Megan Fitzgerald Memorial Scholarship, presented by the Williamson County Swim League.  

Awards:  

*Each swimmer has earned a Westhaven Blue Heron Swimming Medal.  If you have not received yours, please pick it up with the other awards.

**All of the awards from our final dual meet against Brentwood and the Championship meet are organized and ready for porch pick-up starting this afternoon.  

Please stop by 321 Starling Dr. by Friday, July 11. 

Thank you again to all of our wonderful volunteers.  We would not be able to accomplish this kind of success without your support.  A special shout out to several parents who took on a leadership role this summer.
