2003-2004 Season Summary: Varsity Girls' Swimming

Girls Varsity Swimming had a successful season. Led by Co-Captains Liz McErlean '05 and Joanna Glass '05, the team posted a record of 4 wins and 6 losses in dual meet competition. Liz McErlean was a top scorer in the 100 backstroke and Joanna Glass swam the 50,100 free and 100 butterfly - both steadily shaving time off their swims throughout the season. The swimmers trained hard and reaped the benefits in meets throughout the season. Laura Jones '05 went almost undefeated in the 50 yard freestyle event this season, complete with a 4th place finish at the WNEPSA Championships in the Hotchkiss pool at season end. The team graduates only two seniors and is looking strong for next year.

A Word from the Coach: Margaret Magee

Kent's experienced coaching staff is committed to building a swimming and diving program emphasizing academic excellence, dedication, desire, and a sense of accomplishment. Whether you are relatively new to the sport, or an accomplished athlete, fundamentals as well as advanced competitive skills are taught in a positive atmosphere.

Kent maintains a tradition of excellence in athletics. By committing to Kent, be assured that the lessons learned and friendships made in and out of the swimming pool will be treasured and carried with you throughout life.

I have been teaching and coaching swimming at Kent for the past two years. The boys and girls were recently split into separate teams, providing more space and the opportunity for more individual attention for each swimmer. I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions about Kent School or the swimming/diving program. I look forward to hearing from you.
