After being forced to watch the Raiders' 2005 Southern Maryland Athletic Conference championships from the sidelines because of the flu, Davis returned this season to dominate two events: the 500-yard freestyle (5:33.63) and the 100 free (a SMAC record 54.76). Davis also joined in the triumphant 200-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relay teams and won the 100 free at the 4A/3A championships.
Girls' Coach
Of the Year
MEGAN SHELTON, LEONARDTOWN
In the program's second year, Shelton led the Raiders to their second straight SMAC title. Going undefeated through their dual-meet schedule, Leonardtown dominated the season-ending conference meet, grabbing victories in all three relays and five of the eight individual races. The Raiders' total of 474 outdistanced second-place Northern by 101 points. Shelton prepares her swimmers to swim any race at the championship meet by having them compete in every event at least once during the season.
