It’s no secret that M.K. Barnwell ‘27 excels in swimming. She reaches new, exciting heights each time she competes in a meet, and our Marianapolis community continues to be blown away by her dedication, resilience, and talent.
 
On Sunday, November 10, Barnwell secured first place in the Valley Shore YMCA Winter Pentathlon USA Swim Meet in Westbrook, Connecticut! Over 100 swimmers participated in this meet and competed in five events: the 100-yard Butterfly, 100-yard Backstroke, 100-yard Breaststroke, 100-yard Freestyle, and the 200-yard Individual Medley.

Barnwell was also recently honored for being one of the top 16 swimmers in the state of Connecticut for the 2023-2024 season in five events: the 50 Free Short Course Yards (SCY), 100 Fly SCY, 50 Free Long Course, 100 Fly Long Course, and the 2500m Open Water Swim. This is her third year making the top 16 list!
