Burke qualified for sectionals in the 200 and 500 freestyle and helped qualify three relays (200 medley, 200 free and 400 free) as well. Coach MaryLauren Burke refers to him as a “powerhouse … both in terms of swimming ability and sportsmanship.” “In practice, Aiden pushes his teammates, at times nudging them on when they begin to fall off,” she noted. “At meets, from the second Aiden finishes a race he is immediately cheering on his teammates and competitors alike until the last person has finished their race. As an athlete, Aiden is coachable and knowledgeable. You can often find Aiden after practice working with his teammates to help them improve however he can.”

Move In Style, sponsored by Custom Home Realty’s Laura Wauters, is a weekly Hopkinton Independent feature. Each week during the school year, we will highlight a different Hopkinton High School athlete, selected after consultation with HHS coaches.
