SOUDERTON GIRLS’ SWIMMING PREVIEW
Coach: Todd Bauer 5th Season
Assistant coaches: Trisha Swanson, Bill Hence, Caity Fisher, Carleen Caldwell
Last year’s record: 12-2, 2nd in Suburban 1, 2nd in District 1, 6th in PIAA
Key losses: Missy Doll, Mariel Kush, Molly Clement, Hannah Cross
Key returnees: Returning District Qualifiers are: Chloe Thomas (Sr. Free), Sarah Kesack (Jr., Breaststroke/IM), Jill Whitmire (Jr., Backstroke), Ann Fadden (Jr., Freestyle), Alyssa Santangelo (So., Backstroke, Freestyle), Erica Witoslawski (So., Freestyle, Butterfly), Megan Furey (So. Butterfly), Laureana Zrada (So., Freestyle), Bronwyn Smith (So. Freestyle)
Others to watch: Monica Stiles (Sr., Freestyle), Haley Thomas (So., Freestyle), April Kichline (Fr. IM/Free), Paige Hoehl (Sr., Dive), Steph Grabowski (Jr., Dive)
Strengths: Chloe Thomas had the fastest 50 freestyle split in the State last year and she returns to anchor our relays. The core of this team is in the sophomore class. If they continue to develop and swim their best when their best is needed we should have a great season.
Question marks: The last few seasons we have been able to rely on our most talented swimmers to win races and score valuable points. This year, we will rely on our depth and versatility to win meets.
Outlook: Every year I say that no one aims for second place. That being said, we want to compete for the league title, be in the mix for a district title, and be relevant at the PIAA Championships.
