New Boys’ Swimming captains share their outlook on next season

With the 2011-2012 swim season wrapping up with a state appearance by Junior Jack Elliot, the team has high expectations for next year. On March 6, Juniors Jack Elliot, Ian Warpula and Andrei Casey were all named captains for the upcoming swim and dive season. To name the captains, the team voted on who they thought would fit the role best, but the coaches had the final say in the voting process.

“It makes me realize the big picture now,” said Casey. “The responsibility level to be a captain is much higher than just being another kid on the team.”

Excitement was shown from each of the new captains  and they are all looking forward to becoming a leader and carrying the team together as a family.

“It was a humbling experience to know that my peers see leadership qualities in me, and they trust me to lead them.” said Warpula.

Team manager Maggie Walstrom has been with the team for two years now and has seen new captains play different roles in both seasons.

“I’m excited for the guys and happy that they are the new captains,” said Walstrom. “I have a feeling that next season will go pretty well. all three guys are good leaders and each have interesting characters.”
