Amanda Miller has been named All-Region in the 4th region swim and diving meet, She also has qualified for the state swim meet for two events, Miller came in second in the 50yd freestyle and the 100yd breatstroke to qualify for the state meet on Friday. Congrats and Good Luck Amanda Miller.

Congrats to Amanda - I've known her since she was born. Great parents. Amazing what a kid can do - no knock on Deming at all, but those of who know Amanda know what she has to go through as far as her training. Good luck at the state meet!

The commitment this girl and her family have made is truly something. What's even more amazing is that she didn't start swimming until middle school.

 

Good luck at the state meet!:thumb:

Please explain.

One example would be practice\training before and after school at the Y in Maysville. With school being in Mt. Olivet, obviously. I'm glad I'm not her driver. Especially for the morning shift.

Please explain.

 

 

I'll let this article do the explaining.

LBBC, did the article help?

 

What I was getting at is there are several obstacles to overcome. First and foremost is the lack of facilities. Most of the high-profile swim teams have access to a school pool or a local pool. Most have access to a high-tech weight room. The lack of facilities necessitates a tortuous schedule for Amanda and her parents. I've known her parents for some 20 years, and it's a credit to their support and the young lady's dedication that she has been as successful as she has.

 

And most elite swimmers have teammates.

I agree with mcpapa I've known her parents for a great deal of time and they are top notch. Amanda is a hard worker and she has a dream of the Olympics and I for one believe she can. Good luck at state Amanda!!!!
