SLIAC Invitational 2/3/07

This week's swimmers of the week are Eliza Reed and Molly Flavin. Both of these senior women were recognized today at the SLIAC meet for their contributions to Principia College swimming these past four years.

Eliza had a fabulous week of practice this week. She really seemed more focused and determined than we've ever seen her before. She was constantly asking questions about how to be better and her breaststroke transformed into an entirely new stroke. We're very excited to see her in action at Liberal Arts. In addition to that, Eliza's attitude is always team oriented. She's always willing to help out in any way neccessary - even if that means swimming the 100 backstroke. Her joy and support have been appreciated by both teammates and coaches alike.

Molly had a wonderful meet. She swam season bests or lifetimes in every event of the day. In warm up this morning, Molly wasn't quite herself. But, she quickly broke through the barrior and didn't look back. Molly has always cared for the team and has always found her place on the team through cheering others on toward victory. It was beautiful to watch her realize today that she could have victory for herself, as well. Fabulous swimming, Molly!
