Whiz Kid: Austin Kowalsky

A column that will honor the top students in the Bellmore community.

This week's Whiz Kid is Mepham senior Austin Kowalsky!

  • Name: Austin Kowalsky
  • Grade: Senior
  • School: Mepham High School
  • Accomplishment: All-Long Island swimmer.
  • Key to Awesomeness: Kowalsky competed at the New York State Swim Championships two weekends ago. He finished 10th in the 50-yard freestyle and seventh in the 100-yard freestyle, resetting his own school record and qualifying as All-Long Island in both events.

Know a great kid who made Eagle Scout or did your local soccer team take the
championship? They may be our next Patch Whiz Kid honoree.

Each week, Bellmore Patch will seek suggestions from readers for individual kids, youth groups, teens, and even sports teams that wow us with their accomplishments. We want to hear about these amazing children and teens and select one each week as the Patch Whiz Kid.
