Congratulations to Trojan Varsity Swimmer, Ashlyn Loftin, on being named Athlete of the Week for the week of January 19.  

A senior captain for Lassiter Swim and Dive, Ashlyn has signed to swim collegiately at East Carolina University. At the recent Senior Meet, she completed her goal of making every individual state cut. Swimmers usually specialize in one or two events, but Ashlyn is so well-rounded that she can compete in all eight individual events. She is the reigning State Champion in the 100 Breast. Not only is she a great swimmer, Ashlyn is also a gifted leader and role model for younger athletes, and a high-achieving student in the classroom.

"Ashlyn is a true leader of our team. She is positive, hardworking, and has great sportsmanship. Every girl on the team looks up to her," said her coach, Brittany Hughes. "She is involved in several Lassiter organizations and well well-liked by her peers and teachers. She is such a delight to be around!" 

"She started swimming shortly before high school and has been a member of the team for the past four years. She swims year-round with the club team, Chattahoochee Gold. We are looking forward to her leadership as we head to our Region, County, and State meet!" Coach Hughes said with a smile.

We look forward to watching Ashlyn further excel in swim and help lead her team to more and more wins.
