Despite being a freshman, Granite Hills’ Ella Morgan broke four league records, five school records, including two dating from 1989, and was the San Diego Section champion in the girls 500-yard freestyle event at this year’s CIF swimming finals. She finished runner-up in the 200 freestyle by 0.31 seconds, finishing just 0.08 seconds off the all-time section record.

Morgan ended her first scholastic season at the California state championship meet where she placed third in the 200 freestyle in 1:49.93 while being out-touched by two upperclassmen. She finished higher than Torrey Pines junior Aya Ferguson at the state meet after being out-touched by Ferguson at the section meet. Morgan earned notice as the fastest freshman at the state meet in the 200 distance and finished among the four freshmen to qualify in the 500 distance (4:55.16 in the prelims to place 15th.

All these accomplishments added up to highlight Morgan as the 2025 Grossmont Hills League Swimmer of the Year and Granite Hills MVP.

Morgan notched High School All-American automatic times in both the 200 and 500 freestyle events after recording an undefeated season in dual meets.

She won the section title in the 500 freestyle in 4:53.65 while finishing second in the 200 freestyle in 1:48.13.

Ferguson touched first in the 200 freestyle in 1:47.82 to eclipse the standing CIF record of 1:48.05.

Ranked No. 1 in her freshman class academically at Granite Hills High School, Morgan played a “huge part,” according to Eagles coach Cathy Elgas, in the Lady Eagles’ undefeated season as league champions and fifth-place finish at the Division I section finals.

Colleges are already tracking her.

And she’s not alone as Granite Hills junior teammate Austin Felio also qualified for the state meet in the 50 freestyle (22.02, 35th overall) and 500 freestyle (4:35.14, 30th overall). He has already committed to Colorado Mesa University to join older brother Braden there.

Noteworthy
Ella Morgan is the younger sister of Granite Hills alumna Chloe Morgan, who went on to play two years of women’s water polo at Cal Baptist University. Ella Morgan is also a member of the Manta Rays Aquatic club swim team and will be competing in the Junior Nationals championship event July 30-31 in Irvine.
The Junior Winter Nationals are scheduled in December in Texas.
Grossmont freshman Aramis Willett won the Division I section title in the boys 100 butterfly (48.32) to also advance to the state meet. He finished his own meteoric season by placing in a tie for sixth place in the state A-heat with a time of 48.91.

PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) – Just two months ago, Sarah Livingstone was promoted from assistant coach to the head coach of the Bay volleyball program.

And so far things to be going smoothly for the coach. She and her staff and players just wrapping up a four day youth volleyball clinic at Cobb Gym with well over a hundred kids taking part.

As for her taking over the reigns, the coach tells us that’s going well with her players receptive to the change.

“This is my second month as the head coach. I was the assistant coach the past two years. So my transition is pretty smooth. I know a lot of the girls. All my girls are returning. It’s been pretty smooth, I’ve been really enjoying my time. It’s great, we’ve been in the gym, open gym, conditioning and practice. And the girls are taking the transition really well.” Livingstone said.

Most of the players helping out with the camp and the coach says that turned into a good team bonding experience. The first day of fall practice is the 28th with the season openers set for August 18th, so just over a month away.

Dr. Jack Welch, who contributes weekly columns to the Herald-Banner, has been named as the new president of Fort Scott Community College in Kansas.

“Dr. Welch brings to our college a distinguished background in higher education leadership and experience with FSCC and the community of Fort Scott,” as written in a release by the university. “With his deep understanding of student success, community engagement and academic excellence, he is exceptionally well-suited to lead our institution into its next chapter.

“In this role, Dr. Welch will oversee all aspects of the college’s operations and strategic direction, working closely with faculty, staff, students, and community partners to ensure that our mission of accessible, high-quality education continues to thrive.”

Welch coached from 2019 -2024 as an assistant football coach at East Texas A&M.  He was the special teams coordinator and chief of staff. He coached all-American kick returner Dominque Ramsey and all-conference punter Mitch McGarry, among others.

He was also a head football coach in high school at Santo in 1981 and then from 1994-2017 at Copperas Cove. He coached future Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III at Copperas Cove and led the Bulldawgs to 18 playoff appearances and two trips to the state finals. His career record as a head coach in high school was 194-91-1.

RGIII won the Heisman as a quarterback at Baylor and played in the NFL for Washington, Cleveland and Baltimore.

Another of his former players, Charles “Peanut” Tillman, played in the NFL for the Chicago Bears and Carolina Panthers.

Welch was also a head football coach at Kansas Wesleyan from 1985-1986 and was an assistant coach in college at Louisiana Tech in 1993, at West Texas State from 1982-1984 and was a graduate assistant at West Texas State in 1980.

Welch also coached the special teams of the San Antonio Brahmas of the United Football League this past spring.

He lettered in football, baseball and track and field at Taylor University in Indiana and earned all-state honors in baseball at Bridgeport High School. He also played one season of high school football at Osawatomie, Kan., where his teammate was Derrick Jensen, who later played at UT-Arlington in college and in the NFL  with the Raiders.

He obtained his bachelor’s degree at Taylor University, his master’s at  West Texas and his doctorate at Mary Hardin-Baylor.

The 11 ambassadors include representatives from all five continents and all six aquatic sports. Together, they have won a combined 78 World Aquatics Championships medals and 36 Olympic medals.

Ambassadors will be on site throughout the World Aquatics Championships, and will help to enhance athlete and fan experience through a range of planned activations including workshops, clinics and meet and greets.

Giorgio Minisini (Italy) served as a trailblazer for male inclusion in artistic swimming throughout his glittering career, and won 10 medals at the World Aquatics Championships dating back to 2015. He bowed out with gold in the Men’s Solo Free and silver in the Men’s Solo Technical at Doha 2024, and will help to inspire the next generation of artistic swimmers while in Singapore.

“I’m very excited to be a part of Singapore 2025 as an ambassador. Artistic swimming is growing around the world and I am sure we will see amazing competitions across all the events,” Minisini said.

“I am grateful to World Aquatics for giving me the opportunity to engage closely with the athletes: I will do my best to help them to make the most of their time in Singapore”

One of the greatest water polo players of all time in Filip Filipović (Serbia) will share his experiences and help to amplify interest in the water polo tournaments, as he successfully did as an ambassador for Doha 2024. He helped his country to win two World Aquatics Championships titles and two Olympic Games golds, in addition to a raft of individual honours.

“The water polo tournaments at the Olympic Games in Paris were hugely competitive, and this made our sport one of the most intriguing on the Olympic programme,” Filipović said.

“I am confident that the best athletes and the best teams in the world will deliver more exciting competition in Singapore”

History-making open water swimmers Sharon van Rouwendaal (Netherlands) and Alice Dearing (Great Britain) have joined the ambassadors programme for Singapore 2025.

At last year’s Olympic Games in Paris, van Rouwendaal became the first-ever athlete to win two Olympic gold medals in the Women’s 10km, following a memorable double in the Women’s 5km and 10km at Doha 2024.

“After an incredible year in 2024, I am thrilled to have the chance to be in Singapore as an ambassador for the World Aquatics Championships,” van Rouwendaal said.

“This will be a different experience of a World Aquatics Championships for me, but it is great to be part of it to help raise the profile of Open Water Swimming”

Former world junior champion Dearing became the first black woman to represent Great Britain in swimming at an Olympic Games at Tokyo 2020. She is a passionate advocate for raising awareness of water-safety and drowning prevention, and encouraging aquatics participation in African, Caribbean and Asian communities in the UK.

“It is very exciting to be going to Singapore to serve as an ambassador for the World Aquatics Championships,” Dearing said.

“In particular, I am looking forward to discussing how we can use this platform to promote environmental sustainability – a topic that is close to the hearts of many athletes because it is vital for the ongoing success of aquatic sports”

“This can truly inspire the next generation of divers, and I am confident Singapore 2025 will again serve as a showcase of rising standards in our sport around the world,” Wu said.

Chad Le Clos (South Africa) is his country’s most successful male Olympian with four medals and also won seven World Aquatics Championships medals, while the career of Anthony Ervin (United States of America) was marked for its incredible longevity as he won three World Aquatics Championships 12 years apart at Fukuoka 2001 and Barcelona 2013, and three Olympic golds 16 years apart at Sydney 2000 and Rio 2016.
