Two perennial championship teams from the Door County YMCA are preparing for sectional and state competitions this weekend.
The DCY Swim Team and the Strivers gymnastics team will compete with hopes of advancing in the individual and team competitions.
Door County YMCA Marketing Director Makayla Thoma says each program's past and present successes are remarkable, with kids from all over the area competing.
The Strivers will have 23 gymnasts competing at the 2025 State YMCA Gymnastics Championship at West Bend East and West High Schools on Saturday, March 15, and Sunday, March 16.
The state sectionals in swimming will be held in Wausau on Friday and Saturday, with over 85 DCY swim team members competing and another 49 swimmers who have already qualified for the state competition in Brown Deer next weekend, March 22-23.
Five swimmers have already secured spots at the Nationals, which will be held in Greensboro, North Carolina, from March 31 to April 4. DCY Swim Team members Jack Monfils, Julia Michalski, Sue Mann, and Daylia Sund are qualified in individual events, and Megan Quaderer is qualified in relays.
