Gwinnett Swim and Dive Booster Club celebrates best from 2025-26 season

STAFF REPORTS

Gwinnett Daily Post | 3/26/2026

North Gwinnett athletes earned three of the top four individual honors at the Gwinnett Swim and Dive Booster Club’s annual celebration of the best from the 2025-26 high school season.

The Bulldogs were represented by Susie Kang as the Grils Diver of the Year, Miles Gravitt as the Boys Diver of the Year and McKenzie Jenny as the Girls Swimmer of the Year.

Brookwood’s Baylor Stanton earned the other top individual honor as the Boys Swimmer of the Year.

The Coaching Staff of the Year awards went to Peachtree Ridge’s Taylor Warren and Jon Zopf for the boys, and to Parkview’s Eric Brown, Max Carlson and Nathan Lancaster for the girls. Joel McClendon was named Dive Coach of the Year.

The club also honored late Brookwood coach Greg Puckett as the inaugural inductee into the Gwinnett County Swim and Dive Hall of Fame. Puckett, who died last year after a battle with cancer, led Brookwood from 1993 through his retirement in 2017 with 10 team state titles (five boys, five girls) and 12 state coach of the year honors. He also was an important representative for swim and dive at the state level and spearheaded an effort to get the state high school meet to Georgia Tech.

Mill Creek’s Rick Creed and Archer’s Michele Broeg also were celebrated after announcing plans to retire as head coaches.
