Newport family making a big splash

Ilona and Ivan Weisz are making quite a splash at the Northwest Regional Age Group meet, showcasing their incredible talent and hard work.

Ilona’s success in the 200 fly and 100 free and second place in the 50 free, alongside Ivan’s impressive placements in his age group, highlight their dedication and skill in competitive swimming. It’s not just about breaking records; it’s also about setting a high standard of excellence and inspiring their peers and the local community.

The fact that seven states are competing underscores the level of competition and makes their achievements even more noteworthy. Ivan’s performance indicates a bright sports future, especially at just ten years old. Thinking about what he will achieve with more experience and training is exciting.

Ilona’s ongoing success, including her record-breaking performances at the 2024 NWAG regionals and Speedo Spring Sectionals, combined with her current victories, illustrates her as a dominant force in swimming.

Her ability to excel in short- and long-term events is a testament to her versatility and hard training. Celebrating their achievements recognizes their hard work and encourages them to strive for excellence.
