Splash Club rides wave of momentum out of 2023

As local youth swimmers say goodbye to a cooling December, memories of their successes at the Bartlesville Splash Club Stars of Winter Meet from earlier this month are still warm.

Meet participation multiplied to one of the biggest the Splash Club has hosted in many years — 462 swimmers representing clubs from Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas — according to Splash Club head coach Chad Englehart.

Splash Clubbers won 70 events in individual competitions and collected another 49 second-place medals.

Parker Shoesmith (boys 13-14) boasted the big winner honors by winning 10 golds, followed by Addie Howze (girls 15-and-older) and Griffin Craig (boys 15-and-older) with nine apiece.

Other prolific conquerors included Anna Young (girls 13-14, eight golds), Connor Durrell (boys 9-10, six golds), Alysse Dennis (girls 11-12, six golds), Amelia Durrell (girls 8-and-under, five golds), Keaston Meek (boys 8-and-under, four golds) and Taylen Pratt (girls 11-12, four golds).
