Claire puts a lot of hours in the pool and she works extremely hard, and because of that, she's developed a very efficient stroke; a very long, strong stroke that propels her through the water. She's also very competitive and hates to lose. She sets goals before every meet, and if she doesn't meet all of them, she's not happy. That's tremendous dedication. I think she's going to be a state champion some day. |
I'm thrilled to be honored like this because this is my first year and I didn't really expect it. But I was handed a very strong and competitive group of girls. It was exciting they openly accepted me as their coach, and we had a fun year. |
We had a wonderful freshman class that stepped up for the seniors we lost, and I think that's why we surprised a lot of people this year. We're looking forward to being even more successful next year. |
