While it may not have “hit” us yet, this was our last training trip of our collegiate swimming career. As we boarded the plane to come home, we were sad to leave the sun and warm weather to return to the cold in the Chicagoland area. On the other hand, we were also extremely happy because without the support of our North Central community, this trip would not have been possible. While we reminisce about the great times we had on the island (swimming in the National Championship, snorkeling out the ship wrecks, team dinners, saving baby sea turtles, and so much more), we are also reminded of what North Central College’s mission has instilled in us.
From all of us, and on behalf of our teammates, THANK YOU to the Athletic Department, swimming alum’s, parents, family, friends, and especially our Coach, Loreli (our graduate assistant) and Jen for making this such an incredible training trip. As we prepare for Conference, we will keep training hard, just as we did in Barbados. As we prepare for graduation and become future alums, we hope to keep this tradition of traveling outside of the country every four years thriving. Just as our community has supported us, we will support future student with engaging in what an amazing and humbling experience training trips have to offer.
