Lake Erie Awards Banquet and A New Website

Yesterday afternoon at the Springvale Ballroom in North Olmsted, Lake Erie Swimming hosted its annual Awards Program.  Many Shaker Sharks were honored for their participation in the Zones, Quads, and Sectional meets.  Fernan Echeverria was recognized for 10 years of volunteer work in the LSC (Local Swimming Committees).

Also, the Coach’s Merit Award was announced.  The Coach’s Merit award is awarded to one swimmer from each team.  Each athlete is chosen by their team’s coaches.  The award recognizes athletes that best represent the values of their team both in and out of the water.  Tad Resch is this year’s Shaker Shark Coach’s Merit Award winner. Congratulations Tad!
