    They say that time flies. They say that these four years will go by in a flash. But I remember my first day of freshman year. It was a scorching hot day in August. A short-sleeved gray dress was not the best choice to hide those embarrassing sweat stains.

  • Freshmen making varsity waves

    Ken Knutson|Updated Oct 16, 2019

Kendall Pickering won the 100-yard backstroke and took second in the 200-yard individual medley. Caroline Kramer captured top honors in the 100-yard breaststroke and finished third in the 200-yard IM. Kit Schneider bested her...
