After holding the lead the first two days of the meet, MAC ended up a very close second in the overall team score to the meet host team – MLAM (Michigan Lakeshore Aquatics Masters).Due to the strong swimming performances of MAC men, they earned 1st place and were able to bring home the Men’s Large Team Title. MAC ladies took 2nd place in the Large Team category.

Congratulations to all MAC Swimmers! With a greater number of swimmers participating in 2025 than in the past several years, MAC is on the hunt for all three titles at next year’s State Meet at Oakland University! Mark your calendars NOW.. April 17-19, 2026.

Thank You…

To all of our swimmers for taking time away from home and family to be part of the team performance, earn points, and cheer on and support your teammates. We had a great time supporting each other on the pool deck, at the team dinner on Friday night, and cooking s’mores after a long day of racing on Saturday night. A great big thank you also to Jacqueline Thorpe for organizing the coach’s gifts and many thanks to everyone that contributed.
From all of the Coaches – THANK YOU MAC TEAM!

Hong Weng Honored

Honored during the meet was our very own Hong Weng! She received the Michigan Masters Lynne Award. The Lynne award was initiated in 1999 and is named after former Michigan Masters President Lynne Weir, for “courage and tenacity”, continuing to swim after a major illness or injury. Hong had a cycling accident with a deer that caused traumatic brain injury while training for Hawaii Ironman. After being in a coma for several days and in the hospital for 2 weeks, Hong was then admitted to a rehabilitation clinic followed by 4 months of PT. She returned to swimming just 4 months after the accident.

Congratulations Hong and we’re proud of your hard work! You are in inspiration to us ALL!
