End of the Year Banquets

Last week we celebrated the end of the season!

We began the evening with a "dress to impress" swim team dinner.  After eating a fabulous meal, we handed out awards.  We had many awards this year, and the winners are listed below:

Most Improved:  Andrew Roehrig and Erin Kiskaddon
MVP:  Jamie Nusse and Charlotte Graham
Most Inspirational: Nick Hurlburt and Lauren Flynn
STL Superstar: Brian Wakefield, Katie Tackman, and Sara Behrens
Workout Warrior: Chris Bendix and Charlotte Graham
Land Shark: Nick Hurlburt and Lauren Flynn
New Misisonary: Adam Brayton, Kevin Dyer, and Libby Arnosti
Coach's Award: Matt Liedtke and Sidney Kohls
Oz Award: Nick Wood and Alyssa Bader

After our team banquet, we walked to the pool to marvel at the newest records on the record board.  Those athletes who broke the record then proceeded to sign the old one to be given to the previous school record holder.

Finally, after all our team festivities, we made our way to the Varsity Athletics Banquet where we made our presence very well known.  In addition to being the loudest and most enthusiastic team in the room, we also  made our appearance known in the awards; we had a team member nominated in every possible field!   Out of our nominations, Kevin Dyer was named the First Year Outstanding Performer and Jamie Nusse was  named the Outstanding Performer for the junior class.
