FOURTEEN-year-old Adreil Pratt had a strong showing at the Bahamas Aquatics Federation’s 50th National Swimming Championships - her final swimming competition before she heads off to Jacksonville, Florida, to continue her education.

Pratt snagged four bronze medals - 50-, 100- and 200- metres breaststroke and 200 medley mix relay. She also placed fourth in the 100m back stroke, fifth in the 200m back stroke and 6th in the 50m back stroke. She made finals in all of the races she competed in.

She now prepares to attend the Bolles School in Jacksonville, Florida to enter the 10th-grade next month.

The school is well known for producing some of the greatest swimming athletes in the world, including Olympians. Our very own Arianna Vanderpool Wallace attended the school.

Pratt is a member of the Black Marlins Swim Club operated by Macfit 360, West Bay Street. Her coaches are former Olympian Allan Murray and his wife, Christine.

Lisa Rahming, minister of state for social services and urban development and Member of Parliament for Marathon, is her biggest fan.

She was joined by members of Pratt’s fan club who came out to support her during the races. They include her little brother, her father and his fiancé spiritual advisor Prophetess Sheena Moss, and chairman of the Marathon PLP Branch, Trevor Seifert. In addition to her athletic prowess, Pratt is known for her endearing personality and poise. She is also skilled in the sport of cycling.

Adriel looks forward to representing her country on the world stage and excelling in the sport of swimming. Good luck on your journey.
