Ryan defends swimming championship
Monitor Staff Reports
 MABANK–Mabank
High School senior Sean Ryan successfully defended his district
swimming championship in a brand-new district.
Last year, Ryan was the District 15-4A “Swimmer of the Year,”
and Ryan won two events at the District 16-4A championships
Saturday in Duncanville to grab the “Swimmer of the Year” award
for the third time in four years.
Ryan won both the 100-meter backstroke and the 100-meter
butterfly events at the Duncanville ISD Natatorium.
“Sean won both of his individual events by very comfortable
margins,” coach Chris Brock said. “He’s now gearing up for the
Region IV-4A meet Friday and Saturday, Feb. 4-5.”
“I just wanted to take the first leg of each race out fast, and
then keep my swims clean to the finish,” Ryan said. “My goal is
to medal at the regional meet and advance to the state meet.”
Since last April, Ryan has trained and lifted weights almost
every day – twice a day during the Christmas holiday break, he
said.
“Along the way, I have battled an upper-respiratory infection in
November that kept me out of the pool for two or three weeks,
and tendonitis in the rotator cuff area (of the shoulder), which
you can imagine for a swimmer is very painful,” he said. “I am
taking ultrasound therapy for this almost every day now.”
Ryan has been the entire Mabank swimming team since his freshman
year, practicing at the Cain Center in Athens.
