MHAC/Senior III-Skip
Lauren Kohlhepp
Reynolds/White -Mollie
Lauren is a very hard working
member of the Senior team
who has made great progress
during the past year. At the
Corvallis meet in May, Lauren
turned in 4 lifetime best times.
She has been turning in
practice performances which
point to some great swimming
ahead!
Jordan Hernandez
DD / Gold/Sen1-Bobby
Daniel Wong
Daniel is quietly becoming a
tremendous swimmer. He has a
great ability to find another level
of competitiveness when the
moment needs it. He continues
to excel in breaststroke and his
other strokes are vastly
improving every day.
Reynolds/Red- Mollie
Jordan is Swimmer Of the Month
for June because while he has
been to every practice and
working hard at every practice for
I think 6 weeks running. I think
Jordan has more fun than anyone
else at swim practice. He is
smiling every time I look at him,
which is a delight and brightens
the atmosphere of the whole pool!
Jordan’s in pool work ethic has
improved due to his habitual
attendance. He is much more
attentive and willing to try new
drills which inspires his
teammates to do the same. It has
been a blast to watch Jordan
learn to become a leader – even if
he is resisting.
When Jordan is focused, he is
one of the fastest in the pool!
When I challenge him to race his
team mates – he loves to
compete!! Keep up the great work
Jordan!!
Alan Luu
Alan is a silent leader at
Reynolds. He is focused,
listens to explanations and sets
the bar high for his teammates
in the water too! I NEVER have
to tell Alan to stop walking on
the bottom. Leading by
example is passive but
effective and I can tell his
example has contributed to the
maturity of the swimmers
around him
Alan is also a great friend in
practice. He is considerate to
his teammates and
understands lane etiquette so
that the others in his lane are
able to do their best. I am eager
to see the progress that Alan
makes especially as he
increases his attendance to 5
days a week!
DD / Red-Bobby
Lindsey Chen
Lindsey is a technician to the art
of swimming. She has great
focus on her body position and
her every movement when she is
in the water. I am very excited for
the next phase in her swimming
which will involve her embracing
the competition of the sport.

MHAC/Sen 1-Juan
Abbie Yin
Abbie took some time off from
swimming last year and
decided to jump back on board
last Fall. She was worried
about having been out of the
water for a year, however she
was determined to commit
herself to the group and to the
training and it has really paid
off! What sets Abbie apart from
others is her "can do" attitude.
Abbie doesn't back away from
a challenge and is one of the
most coachable swimmers I
have ever had the opportunity
to work with. Her hard work
has paid off and she has now
qualified the 50 and 100 free for
the state championships later
this summer! Nice job Abbie!
MHAC/Sen 1-Juan
Mara Tapasa
Mara came to our club recently
from the Mavericks and has
made a positive impact on the
group already! She pushes
herself in every practice and in
doing that she pushes
everyone around her to swim
faster in practice. She had the
best attendance over the gold
squad last month and is on
route to becoming a great
swimmer! Keep it up Mara!
Barlow – Jody
Sophia Davis
Congratulations to Sophia Davis,
the Barlow Swimmer of the
Month! Sophia has been working
very hard in practice to improve
her breaststroke, and was a heat
winner in her Breaststroke event
at the June Inter Squad meet!
She always has a great smile &
an awesome attitude - way to go,
Sophia!
MHAC/Red-Dennis
Vu Lam
Vu Lam is 12 years old and he is
doing excellent on our Red Squad
I look for him to move to Gold very
soon! Way to go Vu!!!!
MHAC/Red-Dennis
TJ Keeling
TJ Keeling is 10 years old and he
is doing very well on our Red
Squad. His technique is improving
rapidly. He works very hard every
practice. Great Job TJ!!!
MHAC/White-Dennis
Addison Kenoyer
Addison Kenoyer is 9 years old
and she continues to impress. She
is really coming on strong. She
always has a great attitude and I
look forward to her future at MHA.
Congrats Addy!!!
MHAC/White-Dennis
CeCe Reinhardt
Ce Ce Reinhardt is 11 years old
and she is a leader of our White
Squad. She is listening much
better and her strokes are getting
a lot better. Keep it up Ce Ce!!
