Good morning Rockets!☀️It’s meet day! So last but not least, here is Coach Avery for day 7!🚀

“Hi Rockets! I can’t wait for my second season of coaching! I’ve been a swimmer for 12 years and a coach for two now. I’m a rising senior at Godwin High School where I have swam for the past 3 years. When I’m not at the pool, you’ll probably see me reading or building a robot for my worlds level robotics team.

My favorite memories from the rockets are all the fun practices after meets where everyone has so much fun! I can’t wait to see what this team does this year! Go rockets!”

We’re introducing a coach a day leading up to our first swim meet! Up next is Coach Luke!🚀

“Hey Rockets! I am so excited for my second year as a swim coach at Church Run. I have been a Church Run Rocket myself for the past 11 summers! I just graduated from Godwin High School, where I was a member of the Varsity Track and Cross Country teams as well as a Class Council representative. In the Fall, I will be attending Virginia Tech to study engineering. In my free time, I enjoy playing pickleball and spending time with friends. 

My favorite CRR memories are definitely donut practices and water polo. I can’t wait to meet all the swimmers. I know we will have an amazing season, and I really look forward to coaching!”
