Head Coach Lee Thompson's Comments: Steven is a senior this year at Jersey Shore Area High School, but this will be Steven's rookie season. Steven may be new to the sport of competitive swimming, but it is his hard work and determination that leads him to the Coaches Corner. As a coach, a "pool full of Steven's" would be a dream come true. He is never late to practice, tries his hardest on every sprint, is a quick learner and is always pushing himself and the other teammates (even the veterans) to their limits. After Steven's first meet, he was within a second of making the 50 Freestyle district time and is shedding second after second in his 100 Freestyle. Steven has found himself within tenths of a second away in the 50 Free and less than a second away in the 100 Free from the District qualification time. Although Steven is a greenhorn, he has found himself a place among the captains; the team and I see the hard work and dedication that Steven brings to the pool each and everyday.
