WHERE: Albany Aquatic Center
WHEN: 4/22 | 4PM

Today, we’re celebrating our senior Kaelin! Kaelin’s been swimming since sophomore year, dropping over a minute 1️⃣⏳ from his 100 back, having full conversations 🗣️🗣️ in the middle of his race, and even learning how to flip turn 🤸. This fall, Kaelin will be taking his talents to UC Davis 🐎 and will be studying economics 📈 with a concentration in math➗

Kaelin would like to shoutout all his friends for getting him into this sport and for pushing him the whole time.

Up next, we are pleased to introduce our very own Andrew Li!! 🎉 From excelling in math➗, to serving as vice president of Key Club 🔑💚, Andrew has made the best of his time here at Albany❤️🖤And beyond that, he’s just as impressive when it comes to picking up new languages 🇯🇵🇪🇸🇨🇳Whether he’s solving complex equations📊or hitting up new dance moves🕺, Andrew has perfectly demonstrated what it means to be well rounded‼️Andrew will be attending UC Berkeley this fall and will be majoring in applied mathematics! (Go Bears! 🐻💙)

And up next, a senior who’s just as quick in the pool 💨 as they are sharp in the mind 🧠, give it up for Ryan Hong! From captaining the swim team 👨‍✈️ to serving as vice president of Key Club 🔑💚 to running his own music club 🎶and everything in between, Ryan really showed us what it actually means to lock in 🔒. Ryan will be attending John’s Hopkins University this fall and will be majoring in biomedical & electrical engineering.

Ryan would like to give a shoutout to his supportive parents for giving him fuel both physically and mentally the whole way. He’d also like to shoutout to his relay squad for finally making it to the “last dance.”

Next up is our resident lead-off, Phumin!! Whether he’s cellying 🎉after his 100 freestyle 🏊, chatting it up 🗣️while getting his race suit on, or eating up all the snacks, Phumin is sure to make a memory 🧠. He will continue to train while attending Diablo Valley College next fall.

Phumin would like to shoutout his mom and dad for opening a restaurant and getting free food.
