At the Shanghai Swimming League Championship, Shannon showed what pushing through fatigue and coming back even stronger really looks like! She smashed 2 new SCM (Short Course Meters) Personal Bests in the 100 Fly and 200 Fly!  We are proud beyond words of her journey and her fighting spirit!

This week at the Malaysia Open Championships (Closed), she added 3 more Personal Bests, achieved 4 additional 4A standards (now 14 in total!), and brought home 3 Firsts and 1 Third place

Not every race was perfect, but every experience — including overcoming a few minor health niggles — has made her even tougher. And to top it all off, she’s officially earned a spot at the 33rd Southeast Asian Games in Bangkok this December!
