One individual and three relay teams from the combined from Regis Jesuit and Grandview earned All-American honors from the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (NISCA) for the 2023-24 girls swimming season.
Senior Charlotte Burnham — a University of California, Berkeley, recruit — captured the honor (which goes to the top 100 performers across the country who achieve the required standard) in two individual events and along with fellow senior Tierney Kohl as well as freshmen Natalie Daum and Ava Terella on the 200 yard medley relay for coach Nick Frasersmith’s Raiders.
Burnham won a second consecutive (and third in four seasons) Class 5A state championship in the 100 yard breaststroke and her altitude-adjusted best time of 1 minute, 1.77 seconds, was good enough to put her 28th in the country, while her 23.04 in the 50 freestyle ended up 41st. The Raiders’ relay team swam 1:42.81 to earned the No. 28 spot on the national list.
Burnham was a four-time NISCA All-American in 2023, while it is the first such honor for Kohl, Daum and Terella.
The area’s last NISCA All-American honor went to the Grandview 200 yard freestyle relay team of seniors Keira Vail and Amelia Brown along with sophomore Makenna Dyk and freshman Jasia Barnes. The group swam a best time of 1:34.93 that ranked 35th in the nation for coach James Boone’s team.
Brown was an individual All-American in the 50 yard freestyle in 2023.
