End of the Season Awards

Today our team celebrated this year's successes with our annual banquet. It was great to have everyone back together and to spend time with their families. This was truly one of my favorite years coaching and this is largely due to the wonderful people on the team and their love for the sport.

Thanks to all the parents and fans who supported the team this year. We would not have had as great of a year if it weren't for your love and support.

8 New Records!

Every year after the conference meet is when the record board gets its new look and shows off all of the records set throughout the year. Since starting at St. Kate's 7 years ago I've done a lot of work on the Pool Record side but only changed a few on the team side. This year it was definitely a lot more fun risking my life on the mechanical lift to change the 8 team records set a few weeks ago.

Congratulations to Sarah Vrudny, Bridget Perkins, Jen Lippitt, Mary Walters, Elizabeth Fosse, and Ashley Kramka for their amazing swims to set 8 new school records. With 5 of the 6 being first year students I'm looking forward to spending even more time on the lift in years to come.
