Swim Season Senior year

Some Memorable moments from this season.....Cheering Loren Franz in the 500 freestyle! It was inspiring to watch him swim this long distance event that he had never attempted before.
Loren always keeps us entertained in the water...haha

So much fun getting together for the State dinner, district dinner and just hanging out with the team. This has been such a fun bonding year for the boys. Christian and Skyler especially enjoyed being with the freshman boys, Nolan, Porter and Giles.

An alumni picture with George who has been the starting announcer guy at Curtis for many, many years--look for him in the white in the middle of this picture.
Half way through the swim season Christian broke his wrist in 3 places while playing a rec game of indoor soccer. It was a sad and miserable day. For a few days he had a full arm cast then we opted to have surgery so he could get back in the water.
We have the best and most dedicated coaches at Curtis-Mark Olson and Denny Piccoloto.
10 days after surgery Christian was back in the water. 2 weeks later at districts, he was going full force and accomplished a 22.76 50 free which qualified him for state and the team also made it to state in 3 relays--200 medley, 200 free and 400 free. Christian was in all these relays. It seemed like a miracle and we were very proud of his hard work and determination.
Hanging out at the State meet at King County Aquatic Center...boys will be boys


400 free relay--Mac Baker, Joel Pryor, Joey Denstaedt and Christian.
Senior swimmers at the league meet--Matt, Christian, Skyler, Joey and Joel.

Our #1 Swim fans including Sarah and Molly Berger, Lauren Christiansen and Katie Bateman!!! These wonderful gals also made Christian a cozy fleece BYU blanket and gave it to him while he was recuperating.
