Celebrating our 2020 H.S. Graduates!
This has certainly been an unforgettable year so far, and we would be remiss not to pay special recognition to our 2020 high school graduates. These seniors faced challenges unlike any other class before them. Please congratulate these wonderful young men and women the next time you see them at the pool.
Ethan Dong Future Plans: Ethan, a Presidential Scholar who swam for West High School, plans to attend Yale University to study Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science and hopes to one day work in the field of Biomechanics. He also plans to swim for the Yale club team. |
Maya Williamson Shaffer Future Plans: Maya will be taking a gap year before heading to the University of Pennsylvania in the fall of 2021. Maya swam with the league for 12 years and has fond memories of painting cow spotted nails at the Get Fired Up dinner. |
