Junior, Chase Waterman- Swimming
Chase has had one of the best practice attendance records on our team and focuses diligently on the workout routines at practices. As one of our team captains, he sets a great example of leadership both in and out of the pool. He helped to organize much of the student-run contributions for our senior night and has stepped up to make things happen for some of the traditions to end our season. His contributions in the pool have really increased this year. In the month of January he swam 9 personal-best times and was the leading male scorer in two of our eight meets.
Kami Goodrick for her outstanding performance on the diving board, while coping with a painful knee situation. She finished 2nd in the district then beat the district champion as she finished 3rd in the state amid some hefty competition.
