🥈🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️ NATIONAL SILVER FOR CARLEE EVANS! 🇺🇸

ODAC swimmer Carlee Evans just accomplished something pretty incredible on the national stage!
At just 9 years old, Carlee earned the SILVER MEDAL 🥈 in the Youth 9–10 National Triathlon in West Chester, Ohio, competing against young athletes from across the United States!

The swim-bike-run event challenged athletes with:
🏊‍♀️ 100-meter open water swim
🚴‍♀️ 5K bike
🏃‍♀️ 1K run

And Carlee was the second-fastest finisher in her age group in the nation! 🇺🇸🥈

Carlee puts in the work to make accomplishments like this possible. She trains with ODAC five times each week while also training twice a week with Endorphine Fitness to develop her triathlon skills.
Swimming may only be one part of a triathlon, but we LOVE seeing our ODAC athletes take the strength, endurance, discipline, and confidence they build in the pool and use it to accomplish incredible things beyond the lane lines.
9 years old. National competitor. National silver medalist. 💪

Carlee, your entire ODAC family is incredibly proud of you! Congratulations on an AMAZING accomplishment! 🥈💙🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

🚨 ODAC MEN EARN NATIONAL RUNNER-UP HONORS! 🚨

That's not just a finish—it's a statement.

Against nearly 150 teams from across the country, the ODAC Men's Team rose to the challenge at the 2026 TYR Futures Championships in Greensboro, NC, finishing as the Men's High Point Runner-Up with an incredible 227 team points.

This wasn't the result of one great swim. It was built through four days of relentless racing, teammates pushing one another, podium finishes, relay performances, record-breaking swims, and athletes stepping up when it mattered most.

Along the way, ODAC celebrated:
🏆 Men's High Point Runner-Up
🥇 Futures Relay Champions
🏅 Numerous individual podium finishes
🚨 Multiple ODAC Team Records
⭐ First-time qualifiers for Winter Jr Nationals, Summer Jr Nationals, U.S. Open, and USA Swimming Nationals.

The success of this team is a reflection of the culture built every day at ODAC—hard work, accountability, and a commitment to pursuing excellence together.

To every swimmer, coach, and family who helped make this week possible, congratulations. You represented ODAC with pride, and you've given our entire community something to celebrate.

🚨 TEAM RECORD ALERT! 🚨

The record-breaking performances kept coming at the TYR Futures Championships!

Karter Wachs rewrote the ODAC record books once again, breaking the Men's Open 800 Meter Freestyle Long Course Team Record with a phenomenal 8:23.30!

The previous record of 8:26.24 was set by Blake Johnson at the 2021 Speedo Summer Championships—in the very same pool in Greensboro.

It's a fitting full-circle moment. Five years after Blake established the standard on this pool deck, Karter returned to Greensboro and lowered it even further, adding another chapter to ODAC's history.

Congratulations, Karter, on another incredible achievement! Your dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence continue to raise the bar for everyone who wears an ODAC cap.

💙💛 Another record. Another piece of history.
