After a long year the Har-Ber Swim & Dive Team hosted a 'Breakfast of Champions' for the student athletes. Sophomore Megan Sanders earned the 'Wildcat of the Year' Award. This award is given to a student who rises above and gives their all to the team. Coach Nathan Whitten shares this about her, "Megan doesn't just swim she is heavily involved in other activities at HB. Every morning she leaves the pool she makes it back across town for band practice while also participating in FFA. She is always on time for practice while juggling all that is on her plate. There was a moment where the team needed someone to swim backstroke for a relay and Megan wasn't completely confident in her stroke for it but she knew the team needed someone to step in and fill that role and she was willing to do that. You don't need to be the fastest just need to display the spirit of what it means to be a Har-Ber Wildcat to earn this award." Congratulations Megan, way to represent Har-Ber Swim & Dive!
