OWN IT!

So far our season has been nothing but spectacular.  We have accomplished more out of the pool early in the season than most teams desire to do in their entire season!  Coach Gilbertson was the sole organizer and planner to get our Team to Hammond, MN to help with the flood clean up.  The day was quick but we certainly made a huge difference.  If you have not yet seen the release click here.  There is nothing more honorable than helping families in need..especially when their lives have been flipped upside down by a horrible flood.

We also get to enjoy the amazing impact each of the swimmers and divers have on the kids in our community by the lesson program we run every fall and spring.  We came up with the idea to have a non-perishable food item donated, up to five, to receive $5 off the cost of the lessons.  Never did we imagine it would make such an amazing impact at the local food pantry.  Myself and Betsy have received so many compliments on the Team for the great job and positive impact they have on the children.  To assist in providing food for the pantry just makes the lessons that much more enjoyable to offer the community.

And last, but not least, we just completed our 2010 Mental Toughness.  A time when things get just a bit strange, yet challenging at the same time.  We saw a team become a TEAM by every definition.  The evening is more than just a fun filled night of team bonding....it is an evening of leadership, challenges,  and a great beginning to the final chapter of the notable careers the seniors have experienced.

My family and I look forward to what the season will bring us, as we know you are as well.  My appreciation for Luther College, Decorah, and this Team is now bigger than ever.  Get ready for an awesome year.  This is our moment...we will OWN IT!

Go Norse!
