Congratulations are in order for Ben and Grace!
First, coach K finally found time to update the team records after the SPA meet at Drury, and our record board has officially been invaded by Ben Hines. Ben took the 10 & under SCY boys team records in the 100 free, 50 back, 50 fly, 100 fly and 100 IM all in one weekend!
Also, a big announcement on the college front... Grace Reichard has officially made her verbal commitment to accept a full ride from NCAA Division 2 power Ashland University in Ohio! From collegeswimming.com:
Reichard, Grace committed to Ashland University
Nevada, MO
“All aspects of Ashland University are perfect for me. A perfect campus in the perfect location, a perfect school for me to be challenged academically, and a perfect team for my swimming abilities to grow. From the first time we talked on the phone to the moment I stepped onto campus for my recruiting trip, check mark after check mark was placed on my ideal college checklist. I met the team and they are so amazing and have the close-knit, family like bond that I want. The coaches really care about me and they were very encouraging through my entire recruiting journey. I can't wait for next year to be part of Ashland's family and to see what the future holds. Go Eagles!”
