from Coaches Mackenzie Menden and Nicole Hedman
We would like to recognize our three captains – Sam Urbaniak, Charles Gbati and Malachi Leake – for their strong leadership skills and commitment to make our team better.
They have proven themselves to be dedicated, helpful and team-oriented captains this year, always putting the team before themselves. As coaches we rely on our captains to be role models and leaders, and these three have done exactly that.
We have a fairly young team this year so it is great to be able to rely on Sam, Malachi and Charles to show the younger athletes how to be a positive teammate. We applaud them for their hard work and we will miss them next year!
Boys, we often say you won’t realize the positive impact you’ve had on your teammates until years after you’ve moved on. You’ll get a text from some of hem out of the blue, saying how you helped shaped their lives. It’s the good stuff and it sounds like all three of you are doing the things to help lead and young group of boys into solid young men. Very impressive. Minnesota Swim and Vibe would like to join your coaches in recognizing your efforts for your team and your sport. Vibe on boys!!
