Swimmer of the Year awards were announced Tuesday evening at the end-of-season banquet for Team Lightning, Steamboat Springs' summer club youth swim team, in the following age divisions: Front row, from left, Keala Fraioli (8-and-under girls), Maddie Ruppel (11 to 12 girls), Frank Ruppel (8-and-under boys). Back row, Katie Brodie (9 to 10 girls), Amy Brodie (girls team high point winner), Lucy Franklin (13-and-up girls) and Penn Lukens (boys team high point winner). Not pictured, Willy Gunn (9 to 10 boys) and Cody Poirot (13-and-up boys). Awards were given for those swimmers who scored the most points for the team during the season. A handful of the swimmers represented Steamboat during the weekend, qualifying to compete at Colorado's junior Olympics meet in Grand Junction. "We were swimming against girls that had zone times and get to practice year-round, and we don't, so I think we did good," said Lucy Franklin, who swam the backstroke leg of the 13 to 14 girls, 400-meter medley relay team that finished 16th and the first leg of the 13 to 14 freestyle relay that took 14th. Emma Lichtenfels, who qualified individually in the 100-meter breaststroke, finished 22nd and the 9 to 10 girls, 200-meter freestyle relay finished ninth. "What a fantastic season - we have so much new blood and more and more kids getting exited about swimming," said Team Lightning head coach Essi Kenttala, who is still receiving calls from parents wanting to get their children on the team. "Getting fourth place of 16 teams at the Western Slope Championships, there's a lot to be proud of. Everyone has fun, and we have the best kids, parents and coaches and the support of (Old Town Hot Springs) - it really makes it a team sport."
