        I would like to commend all coaches, swimmers and divers on their (as always) outstanding performances this past season.  Please refer to our main page for specific information on season honors and awards.
    Mark Onstott, NISCA Zone 4 Director from New Trier High School in Illinois sent us our "Top 16" Certificates which were presented at our fall clinic.  A total of 87 certificates were divided among 21 Boys Teams (26% of zone 4 placement), and 83 certificates were divided among 19 Girls Teams (25% of zone 4 placement).  Coaches  received 1 additional certificate per relay and individual event.  A total of 274 certificates were awarded to athletes and coaches.
    Thanks to those coaches in attendance at our 1998-99 Fall Clinic and our newly appointed District Representatives:  George Bader, District 1 Representative from Lowell High School and Kurt Hass, District 4 Representative from Franklin Community High School.
   We're looking forward to another outstanding Boys and Girls Swimming and Diving Season.
