Long Beach Swimmers Named Academic All-Americans

High school students Maggie Aroesty and Max Willard have earned recognition for their excellence in swimming. Maggie, a sophomore, was named All-American and Max, a senior, received the Academic All-American title. Both students are coached by John Skudin.

Maggie won the state championship title last year in the 100-yard breaststroke and placed fifth in the 200 individual medley. She also won the gold medal in the 200 individual medley at the Maccabiah Games in Israel. Outside of the pool, she takes Advanced Placement classes at the high school and volunteers at an animal shelter.

Max placed fourth in the 500 free at the state championships and won the county championships in the 200 free. He is a National Honor Society member and additionally takes courses in the challenging International Baccalaureate curriculum.
