Performance of the Week: Grosse Pointe South's Caroline Bryan
November 14, 2024
Caroline Bryan ♦ Grosse Pointe South
Freshman ♦ Swimming
The standout freshman won two individual races and swam as part of two first-place relays as Grosse Pointe South won the Macomb Area Conference Red championship meet for the 24th consecutive season. The Blue Devils are ranked No. 4 in Lower Peninsula Division 2, and Bryan will be in contention later this month to become South’s first individual Finals champion in this sport since 2018.
Bryan won the 100-yard backstroke at the MAC Red meet in 57.29 seconds, the seventh-fastest among swimmers’ top times in the state this season for that race, and second-fastest top time among Division 2 swimmers. Her 55.47 to win the 100 butterfly was the third-fastest top time overall for that race this fall and fastest in Division 2. She also teamed with Mischa Eng, Nicole McEnroe and Lorelei Carr on the winning 200 medley relay, and Eng, Whitney Handwork and Hannah DiDio on the first-place 400 freestyle relay. The 400 relay’s time of 3:35.50 was the second-fastest top time in Division 2 this fall. Bryan's older brother Ben also swam for South, and older sister Heidi is a standout junior on the team.
