Swimmers In Junior Olympics

Garden City residents Kalie Yuen, Julia Hall, Alana Brown, Veronica Trzeciak, and Ryan Brown have qualified to compete at the 2013 Metropolitan Swimming Junior Olympics. These young swimmers will compete representing the nationally ranked host team, Long Island Aquatic Club (LIAC). Each year LIAC sends a large squad to the Junior Olympics to compete for the titles as the best age group swimmers in the Metropolitan LSC. Also pictured above are Delaney Hall, Lindsey Schlichte, and Connor Brown, qualifiers for the Junior National Championship meet to take place in Orlando Florida the same week. This is an extremely admirable accomplishment as only a select number of swimmers nationwide qualify each year. These athletes got their start at the Metropolitan Junior Olympics as age group swimmers and are proud to represent LIAC and Garden City at the national level. The Junior Olympics took place March 15–17 at the Nassau County Aquatic Center, in Eisenhower Park.
