This post has been a long time coming...

This season, we say goodbye to our most decorated female swimmer of the last 25 years (at least). Maggie Jo Rennie has been the face of the Valley Swim Team for a decade and now she moves on to a big and bright future.

MJ is a true athlete and leader at heart. She swam under at least 5 head coaches, overcame setbacks and disappointments, created her own motivations when she was the only swimmer left in her age group, and happily passed her love and dedication to the sport onto the next generation of little girls that all looked up to her.

On a more personal note, I loved coaching MJ. She is just as strong-willed as I am and we butted heads more than a few times, but she pushed me to be a better coach while I tried my best to push her to be a better swimmer.

She leaves a swim team legacy of being a mentor, a role model, and an athlete that gave 110% every time she swam. She helped bring into being the Valley High School swim team and won medals and awards at every meet in every season.

Here are the VST records she still holds that our next generation will be chasing after:

Your Valley Swim Team competed in Albertville AL at the ARPA State Swimming Championships this past weekend. We took 26 swimmers, and they were all spectacular!

We brought home 5 individual medals, 8 relay medals, and a top 3 team trophy... even though we were the smallest team in our division!

GO VST!
