Athlete of the Week

SHAW BRIDGES ‘11
KENT SWIMMING TEAM
2/21 - 2/27

Shaw Bridges is this week’s male “Athlete of the Week”.

Head swimming coach Steve Robey writes,

“The excellent efforts of the boys Varsity Swim Team have culminated in a tremendous second place finish at the 2010 Founder’s League Championship.”

“Shaw Bridges exemplifies the strong work ethic of the team. His efforts during the practices leading up to championship week paid off handsomely, with 4 personal best swims.”

“Shaw dropped his time as a member of the 200 yard relay (butterfly), 100 fly, 100 backstroke, and an incredible drop of nearly 2 seconds in his leg of the 400 yard freestyle relay. This relay was off the nearly 20 year-old school record by less than two-tenths of a second!”

Terrific job, Shaw!

CHRISTINE DRPICH ’10
KENT DIVING TEAM
2/21 - 2/27

Diving coach Judy Sides nominates an extremely worthy candidate, 6th former Christine Drpich.

“Christine is a four year member of the Girl’s Swimming and Diving team. She placed first out of a field of 19 divers on Friday, capturing the Founder’s League Championship for the second consecutive year.”

“Christine was able to dive all 11 dives beautifully. She has been a consistent contributor to the team effort this season, winning every meet dual this season! Her leadership as captain this year, and co-captain last has led the diving team to achieve a high degree of excellence.”

“Christine hopes to continue diving next year in college.”

Congratulations, Christine!
