Considered to be the best Lady Knights swimmer last year, Lauren Thrasher lead by example by being the only swimmer to place in the top-20 at State as well as
earning a scholarship to Lindenwood University.

“She was really good,” sophomore Aly Bouquet said. “She lead the team by example and she treated everyone with respect.”

With the loss of Thrasher and other seniors, Coach William Crow expects a much smaller crowd of veteran swimmers; however, he still expects everyone’s best

“This year we are planning to step up our game,” Crow said. “We are planning to increase [the number of]our stroke techniques, [and] also work on having better endurance ability.”

Along with Crow, many swimmers are also planning on working towards a better season next year.

“I think that this year will be better than last year because this year we have some really good freshmen and sophomores coming in,” junior Amy Getzlow said.
