Reaching for the Highest Heights!

Dear Parents,
Many times members will join our team and say "now, I don't expect my swimmer to be an olympic champion!" And I always think "there is so much more than that!

Here are some pictures of my niece, and Coach Margot's older sister, who just competed in the running of the Empire State Building in NYC. I have asked her to share her competitive "resume" which pretty much lists what she has been doing the past couple of years!  She works full time at a hospital in NYC working with families who are dealing with cancer in their loved one's lives and works out and competes world wide!  Meghan did not start competing until she was in HS and that, very casually!  It just shows you what you can do if you are willing to work hard, have fun and reach for the starts!!!!  Hope you enjoyed!
