Swimmers & Divers Ready for 2005-2006 Season

With the loss of some key seniors last season from both the boys and girls teams, some might say this is a rebuilding year. The fact is however, that this year's teams are coming back fully loaded with talent and expectations.

The girls will be lead by senior Ellen Fitzgerald and junior Kate O'Connor both in the water and as this year's girls team captains. Ellen and Kate will lead twenty eight other girls in this season's campaign. There is talent on this team in every stroke and from each grade level.

This season's boys team will be captained by seniors Charlie Cox and Eddie Hourigan. The boys team will also be returning Michael Underwood, last year's sectional runner up and school record holder in the 100 free. Another name will be heard frequently is B.J. Sayer, winner of last year's most valuable swimmer award at the Brebeuf Jesuit Invite. In addition, the 17 member boys's team is packed with some talented depth.

Coach Howe's call to charge for the team is that individual improvement and commitment will lead to team success. While we might not yet be in a position to knock off the likes of North Central and Carmel at the sectional, we do believe we can have them looking over their shoulders.

Head Coach: Craig Howe
