Many seniors were able to participate in this year’s banquet and received awards as they started preparing themselves for their future plans.  

Loretto senior swimmer Carolina Garcia said,  “It’s a lot of fun, and it really just is one big family, we spend every day together, we train and compete all the time.

We support each other, and it just feels really rewarding to see the new swimmers and seeing my fellow seniors having grown so much.” 

Garcia dedicates a huge part of her time to swimming and can say that it paid off well. 

Garcia said, “The last meet that I competed in was regionals, and to swim the two events that I’ve been practicing for since I was a sophomore was really fun. 

I did really well in both of them, and it was a great way to end the high school swimming journey.” 

This is Garcia’s last year as a Loretto swimmer, and she will be very much missed by the coaches, as well as her teammates. 

These girls have worked very hard this season and can’t wait for what the future holds.
