Grizzly Award

So we give out an award on a weekly basis throughout the season. I call it the grizzly award, which is based on the saying - "if you're going to be a bear - be a grizzly!" To me it means, be as big and strong as possible in whatever you do.

(And, yes, MHC's mascot is the Lyon's not bears, but I just like the saying!)

So recent winners include:

Amanda McGrosky
Isa Wismann-Horther
Morgan Herrell

This weeks winner though is senior and co-captain Natalia Sadaniantz. We host the Pioneer Valley Invitational. The meet is fun and un-scored. This allows the swimmers to swim as many events as they would like. Every year, there are a couple of people that swim all 19 events. Natalia has taken that one step farther and swam all 19 events for all 4 years! Pretty cool and definitely grizzly like!

Best,
DA
