This week’s Athlete of the Week is Crookston Pirate Swimmer Chloe Boll. Boll is just a freshman and this past weekend at the Section 8A Meet in Warroad she finished fourth place in the 50-yard, and 100-yard freestyle events. She also participated in the 200-yard freestyle relay that finished fifth place, and the 200-yard medley relay that finished sixth place.
This is now the third time Boll has competed in the Section 8A Meet. “It was another great experience, and I had a lot of fun,” said Boll. “Going into it I knew what to expect this time and I was pleased with how it went.”
Pirate Swimming Coach Marley Melbye was also pleased with the performance and overall work that was put in this year by Boll. “Chloe by nature is a competitor and very determined. She likes to work towards success,” said coach Melbye. “She had a fantastic showing at the Section Meet and it’s fun to see her improve and realize that she can be successful in her events. She is very advanced in every aspect, and constantly pushed and got better throughout the season.”
Outside of participating on the swimming team, Boll stays busy playing basketball, tennis, and track & field. The Swimming season ended on Saturday, and Boll is already back on the basketball court with practices starting earlier this week on Monday. She is also involved in the Crookston High School Leo Club and Student Council.
