Hello Grant Ranch Barracudas! My name is Maddie Lunt and I am back for another summer of coaching with the Barracudas! I love summer league, and sharing my passion and love for the sport with this team! My philosophy as a coach is to have fun, improve technique, and be safe - not necessarily in that order!
My love for swimming began with the Wildcat Ridge Tigersharks, where I swam for 6 years on and off, and started my coaching career in 2012. I became Head Coach of the Tigersharks in 2018 and was in that role for 3 years. I also am wrapping up my second year coaching the Beginner Cuttlefish group with Slipstream Aquatics.
Off of the pool deck, I work in Clinical Pharmaceutical Research as a Project Coordinator and enjoy the perks that come with a fully remote job (like coaching a summer league swim team!) I recently got married in August of 2024 and enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog, Reggie. We love exploring Littleton as a little family! I love to cook and bake and try new restaurants, and also love a night in binging a true crime doc or a reality show.
I can’t wait to get to know you all this summer. See you on the pool deck!
Coach Evan is a Colorado native and have been swimming since he was 5 when he joined a summer league team. When Even got to high school, he swam 4 years for the Littleton High School swim team, 3 of them with Andy Farner as his coach, and qualified for state multiple times.
After high school, Evan served as an Assistant Coach for the Southglenn Gators Swim Team in Centennial for 3 seasons, leading the 15-18 year old age group and helping out with the swimmers who were 8 and under!
Outside of the pool, he loves to golf, spend time with family and friends, read, and watch the Broncos! His best memories growing up were when he was having fun in the pool with my friends, and he is excited to create the same environment for all Barracuda swimmers as they improve in the water!"
Hi! My name is Anna Austad! I am so excited to be coaching. I started swimming when I was five and swam on FST, and HRA. I also competed for Columbine high school for 4 years. I am going into my senior year at Black Hills State University where I am studying special education and competing on the women’s triathlon team. I love hiking, skiing, golfing, and supporting Colorado sports (go avs!). I can’t wait to be on deck cheering everyone on all season long!
