(From the Stanstead College yearbook)
This year's swimming season was just, basically, awesome. I would like to thank all the athletic swimmers who, through perseverance, focus and training, proved they could surmount any odds. Their positive attitude, honest love for Timbits and disrespect for cold pool water were a constant reminder of why the loudest, proudest and most polite team at competitions was always Stanstead College students. With 41 7 points accumulated through the season, we came in second place, only 20 points behind BCS who took the banner this year, though I am certain they will just be holding it warm for us until we get it bock from them next year. Swimming is an individual sport. Even when in a relay it is just you and the other swimmers trying to beat each other for that finishing stroke. A thousandth of a second is big deal here, folks. Whether celebrating each race with "Princess Leia Towel heads" or intimidating the other schools with a Spartan cheer that curdled their blood, we never left without leaving a positive impression on the judges and other coaches. When we decided to have two relay teams, the other schools followed. When we sang on the bus, we sang in assembly. This team was a cohesion of strong characters and fantastic team spirit that I have been honoured to be a part of. Thanks for a great season, everyone.
