Killington Aquatic Club excels in 2016-17 season

KILLINGTON—The Killington Aquatic Club (KAC) has been participating in swim meets October through December 2016 with 16 competitive athletes and 60 members. As KAC enters 2017, they rang the New Year with our Bluefish Trials/Finals at Boston University this past weekend, Jan. 6-8.
In total, 596 swimmers at Boston University compete for 10 final spots in the 12 and under age group, and 20 final spots in the 13 and over age group per event. The athletes swam against top swimmers in our New England LSC region, including Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusettes and Rhode Island. KAC’s Heidi Alf, Bailey Peters, Justine Peters and Mattie Lou Peters attended and made qualifications for final events!
KAC has two more swim meets this month participating at the fifth Winter Pentathlon in Norwich, Vt., and 2017 Connecticut Valley Invitationals in White River Junction, Vt.  Many of the KAC athletes have already qualified for New England Regional, Silvers and Age Group events.
