We had a great turnout for our 2007 ANNUAL BLACK AND ORANGE ALUMNI MEET.  Notably missing were: Scott Parr, Dave and Marshall Abrahamson, and Trevor Klein.

Alumni in attendance included:  David Kreft '07, Jeff Joseph, Rick Haley, Peter Leisen, Joe Warthen, Jake Reichert, Vu Ngo '06, David Weum, Joe Matzke, Kyle Tonn, Mark Vander Ploeg, Nick Brezina '08, Jessica Doar '08, and Katie Rosengren '08.

A few highlights:

Alumni dad Jeff Joseph proved he still rules the pool by touching out his son James in the butterfly.
Alumni David Kreft touched out alumni Vu Ngo in the breaststroke and both beat the current athletes.  Dave also came in first in the 100 IM and proved he still has what it takes. 
Alumni Rick Haley, Kyle Tonn, and ? put in a good showing in the 200 freestyle. 
Nick Brezina still knows how to flip, twist, and turn for spectacular dives. There is great video footage of that last dive!   (Anyone interested in video footage of the meet can contact Dennis Brezina for that.)
Alumni Jessica Doar gave all the fellas a run for their money in several events.
Current athlete Joey Moravec participated in EVERY EVENT, including diving!
Also worthy of note, awards were presented to all those past and present athletes who helped make our swim-a-thon fundraiser successful this past summer.

ONCE AGAIN, THE ALUMNI PROVED UNBEATABLE.

The BREAKFAST following the meet at Perkins on 81 was well attended and a good time was had by all!

SEE YOU NEXT YEAR.

(I didn't get years on everyone to include, email me yours and I'll put it in.  I'm not sure I got everyone's names either, shoot me an email and I'll add yours to the list of those in attendance.  Plus, I can include more "highlights" if you send me what you want posted.)
