UP - UP - UP

The Lyons are climbing that scholastic mountain! With a tie for 1st place grades Christiana Butera and Liz Watkins posted a semester GPA of 3.66! Not far behind were Christine Dyster and Jenna Swinkin with a 3.50. With all but 3 members posting a semester GPA at or above a 3.25, success still rains on the Wheaton team. Of course these scholastic accomplishments didn't come without a ton of time management, studying, and team support. Congratulations to all the members of the synchro team, you're truly exceptional.

Turning the pages towards success

As I look back on a truly amazing year I'd like to send one more expression of congrats to all the girls whom competed on the 2009-2010 Wheaton Synchro team. We pushed each other in ways we never thought possible and ended up with an amazing result (7th place overall!). Please take the summer to both reflect and look to future goals. As for our incoming freshman... best of luck at Nationals and throughout your summer training. We look forward to becoming a true family and once again testing our limits. It is with your help that we will reach the next level. Make sure to keep checking your emails for your summer workouts and suggestions for strength training. In order to push past this season we'll need to hold onto the progress we've already made.
On another note, to help make sure the communication lines are open and we are contacting as many alums and possible, we've started a facebook group called Wheaton College Synchronized Swimming. Please join and be active by posting fun pictures, videos, memories, and ideas. While we swim as a team of 8, we know that it is with the support of our alumni, parents, and friends that makes us a true team. Look forward to seeing you on the facebook side!

Hugs,
Coach
