From the Santa Maria Times:  "Shyla Motley has burned up the pools along the Central Coast since her freshman year at Pioneer Valley. Now entering her senior season with the Panthers, Motley is aiming for both All-American status at the prep level, and a spot on a NCAA Division I swim squad." – Len Wood/Staff

Shyla has been training her tail off in the pool and at Athlon Elite for the last 4-5 weeks and its really going to pay off.  She has significantly improved in her strength and work capacity already in the early phases of her 16-week program.  We are very happy to have Shyla training here with us and look forward to her really "burning" up the pools this coming season…

and for those of you who are having trouble making it to your training sessions, Shyla has school from 7 AM to 3:30 PM, swim practice 4:30 to 6:30 and then training at Athlon Elite from 6:30 to 7:30… on most days of the week!  What a Stud!  Definitely worthy of Spartan honors.
