Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week: Butte Central swimmers

The 11 members of the Butte Central swimming team are this Week’s Leskovar Honda Athletes of the Week.

The honors come as the Maroons get ready for the state swimming meet in Great Falls. No matter how the BC swimmers do in the pool, they have already made some history.

This group makes up Butte Central’s first swimming team of the 21^st Century. The Maroons had a handful of swimmers co-op with Butte High in the early 2000s, but this is believed to be the first full BC team since 1998.

Team members are senior Jim Bradshaw, junior Izzy Lopez, sophomores Joe Bradshaw, Robert Regester, Conan Holmes and Morgan Hardy, freshmen Arwen Regester and Kherington Adams, and eight graders Connor Hardy, Shamus Peck and Carolyn Lopez.

The Maroons are coached by Mariya Peck.

For the third year, Leskovar Honda, home of the 20-year, 200,000-mile warranty, is teaming up with the ButteCast to honor the finest student-athletes from the Mining City in an effort to encourage more children to get up, get out and try all kinds of sports and activities.
