Andover’s Brett Ziser had a solid swimming season a year ago, finishing fifth in the 50 free and seventh in the 100. Ziser also won both relays he participated in.
But he is planning on those individual race numbers being a thing of the past once he gets to the state meet in 2025.
“My goals are to have fun and improve on my main races,” Ziser said. “I’m looking forward to state and swimming with my teammates.”
The Trojans have plenty of newcomers on their roster this season and Ziser has made it point to be a mentor to those swimmers because the seniors before him did the same thing.
“My senior role models, David Gott, Ian Diefenbach, and Eli Conrad, these guys made sure I enjoyed swimming and I looked up to them all year.”
“This year I have been focusing on being a good role model and I’m excited to help the new kids feel better about swimming and making sure they enjoy it,” Ziser said. “I’m excited to make connections with the newer swimmers and help them succeed and be a good role model, I’m excited to go to state again this season.”
Ziser has been grinding in preparation for the season.
“I have been swimming daily at Wichita Swim Club and I have also been working out with my closest friends,” Ziser said.
