In her first season (fall 2024, Grove City YMCA, age 7) Millie was finding her strokes. Two years on, swimming for Buhl Club at age 8, she is roughly a third faster in every event — and now holds her club’s age-group record in all three 25-yard races.

🏃 The cross-country connection: Millie wrapped up her fall cross-country season on Oct 10, 2026 (the Mustang Relays) — and just one week later, at her first swim meet of the season on Oct 17, she set team records in all three of her events. Dad’s theory: all that running builds the engine, and it is showing up in the pool. Hard to argue with the timing.
