Tsunami Seniors Committ To Swim In College!

Three Of Our Finest Senior Tsunamis Sign Scholarships/Committments To Swim In College For The Fall of 2012!

It has become an annual occurrence for PCST swimmers to be heading off to swim in college. The PCST graduating class of 2012 is not only bringing it's 6th straight Valedictorian to the table (congratulations Chet Seaman!), but also three great Tsunamis who will be heading off to their choice campus in the fall to compete for their collegiate swim team. These are very exciting times and we are incredibly proud of the hard work Victoria Hove, JD Clutch and Evan Escobar have put in over the years to get to this point.

Last Thursday we gathered at Frank Brown Park under the pavilion area to celebrate the amazing careers and accomplishments of three of our greatest swimmers in PCST history. We shared laughs, smiles filled with pride, a couple tears, and most importatly..................cookies. haha. :) It was a great night and we are so incredibly proud of our graduating seniors.
