Congratulations to our team captain, Kenndy on being this year’s female Daniel Dewey Sportsmanship Award recipient. Kennedy is a dedicated team member, leader, and friend. You can count on Kennedy to help whenever there is a need. If lane lines need to be moved, Kennedy is the first to volunteer. If teammates appreciate support behind a lane, you can count on Kennedy to be there. We often see her cheering behind the lanes of others from our LSC who are not on Boise Swim Club! She is a true example of sportsmanship.

She is someone we can count on to lead our team well.
Kennedy has dedicated time as a babysitter and a preschool teacher. For the past year she has volunteered at St. Als Hospital, assisting patients before and after surgery, and helping transport patients in wheelchairs, and she has worked at a senior living center in the dining room, helping residents during their mealtimes.
