CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN OUR 2018 OCTOBERFEST MIXED DOUBLES TOURNAMENT! SEE YOU NEXT YEAR! 

Championship Meet for 2018 was a winner!
SUMMER SWIM TEAM just wrapped up their season and we want to congratulate the following standouts:

• MVP- Jared Bucknum and Hallie Long
• Most Improved- Galilea Gutierrez and Sam Wagner 
• Most Coachable- Eathan Roy and Raquel Norland 
• W.R.A.C. Award- Jack Baier and Grace Hensley
• Volunteer of the Year!- Cindy Mahler
• We had 20% more swimmers on the team this year!!

Before the swimmer's toes even touch the water, there is a lot of work put in by many people.  A big shout out to all the volunteer parents and our coaches, Kayli Brown and Audrey Parrish.  Also key in making this program successful are our key equipment transport and set-up guy, Dave Wilson and our multi-taskers Ellie Miller and Gabe Stephanides (awesome national anthem vocalist!).   

We could not have a swim team, nor host meets without Wenatchee City Pool which has allowed us to rent their pool for these events.  We thank them for that but do look forward to some day when we might have a pool large enough to host our own meets at the WRAC.  If you are interested in the long term aquatic facility planning, let me know and I'll get you connected with the Facility Committee who would love your ideas and involvement.
