Senior Gold’s Brantley Patterson is our 13 & Over Practice Performer of the Week. It speaks volumes to her consistent effort that Coaches Matt and Mike W were surprised to learn she’s never gotten this accolade before!
In recent weeks, like many others, she had multiple practices where stood out for her grit, focus, and determination on the stress of a set. She took on the open water race in Blacksburg, came right back and volunteered to do our 20x100 best average test set. All of this without missing a single meter of practice and making zero complaints along the way. She sets a great example of what it takes to reach the next level in this sport and she has certainly earned this one!
Congratulations, Brantley! 💥

That’s a wrap on the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Thank you to all the teams that joined us and helped make this weekend a great meet. We appreciate your patience with the weather and scoreboard hiccups. Great job to all the swimmers for outstanding effort and sportsmanship all weekend long. Till next year!
