Sponsored by Mahaffey Linkous Orthodontics

The Citizen continues its mission to highlight the best and brightest athletes in our community with our Athletes of the Week feature, proudly sponsored by Mahaffey Linkous Orthodontics. Each week, we celebrate the hard work, dedication, and achievements of student-athletes across local high schools. During the summer months, we’ll also feature student athletes from community leagues.

This week, we’re proud to feature this athlete:

PAC Swimming
Caroline Richards
Swimming

Caroline Richards, a rising 5th grader with PAC Swimming, may be small in size—but she’s a powerful presence at the pool. Known for her unwavering team spirit, Caroline spends full days cheering on her sisters and teammates when she’s not in the water herself. She gives 100% in every practice, and her determination has paid off: she’s qualified for the Georgia Age Group State Long Course Championships in multiple events this season. Her coaches describe her as “tiny but mighty,” and her dedication inspires swimmers of all ages. ~Coach Nicole
