Westlake Students shine at the North Island Artistic Swimming Championships June 13-15
A significant number of Westlake Girls students took part in the recent North Island Artistic Swimming Championships as participants and volunteers.
The North Island Synchro Committee sent the following account, for which we are very grateful. It is always lovely to get such positive feedback from our community!
From the Committee
I would like to express gratitude for so many Westlake Girls students who participated and volunteered to make this event a success.
Volunteers:
These competitions require numerous volunteers to run smoothly. We reached out via Sofia Brandolino to the Volunteer Club and over 20 students responded to the call. We were able to find positions for about 15 of them and they were happy to attend and volunteer throughout the weekend. Everyone showed up to their shift on time and were respectful and helpful. We are so appreciative of their efforts.
Coach:
Westlake student Gracey Lee is our 12U coach and her team placed 2nd this weekend!
