EBSC Sends Seven Swimmers To The Mid States All Star Championships

EBSC proudly had 7 members compete for Team Wisconsin last weekend at the 2026 Mid States All Star meet in Indianapolis. Athletes competed against swimmers from Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Minnesota, and Kentucky. Congratulations to Adeline Koutnik. Sarah Johnson, Chase Miller, Tim Johnson, Lincoln Wildt , Alex Leibham (not pictured), and Abby Balter (not pictured)!

Congratulations to Luke Dinusson-Wiger!

Luke Dinusson-Wiger, an EBSC senior, recently committed to study and swim collegiately at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, VA. This exciting opportunity is a result of Luke’s hard work in the classroom and the pool.

Luke, the EBSC community is very proud of and happy for you. Go Generals!

EBSC attends several meets which require specific time standards to attend (Single Age State, State Championships, Sectionals, NCSAs, Junior Nationals). Please check out the Time Standards page of EBSC’s website.

If you have an “out of the pool” submission, please send them (along with a photo or image if applicable) to Emily Wanezek at [email protected] by Wednesday evening. The Gator Blast is sent every Thursday afternoon.
