For the second year running, GPAC is proud to award special t-shirts to the team members who made the efforts to attend a majority of the home meets, as well as a majority of all meets on the schedule. The shirts are not mutually exclusive, and many swimmers will be awarded both shirts.

“Meet Monster” t-shirts are being awarded to swimmers who attended 13 out of the 16 meets on the schedule for both the short course and long course seasons. This year, GPAC had 37 swimmers meet this impressive level. Congratulations to these swimmers: Coulson Barfield, Braden Barkley, Parker Brandt, Caitlin Bridges, Paige Bridges, Amy Brown, Lexi DeJesus, Sophia Diagne, Sydney Dodson, Brooke Ferrara, Cason Forst, Scott Griffith, James Henderson, Renee Henderson, William Henderson, Kristina Jacques, Cameron Jones, Makayla Ludwick, Malia Ludwick, AJ Luth, Jenna Luth, Maren Mackey, Gracie Matthews, Kobi Menser, Korbin Menser, Grace Menzies, Tatiana Oberley, Walker Parra, Nicholas Petruska, Heidi Schellin, Cain Scoggins, Noah Scoggins, Seth Scoggins, Grace Sill, Shelby Smith, James Tracey, and Thomas Young.

The popular “Home Cookin’” t-shirts will also be awarded this season. Based on the team cheer and featuring a witty frying pan design, the award shirts are for swimmers who attended five out of the six home meets GPAC hosted in both short and long course seasons.

The incentive awards are recognition for the competitive spirit that these swimmers possess, and the efforts they make to represent our team at all levels of competition. These awards and other swimmer incentives like these are made possible by the funds collected through the team support policy. This season marks the highest number of meet participants in over 10 years.
