from Coach Todd Fritze
Minnesota Swim and Vibe loves recognition and one of the things we are able to do is take a coach’s recognition of their student-athletes and broadcast it across the state for the swimming community to applaud. We sent some feelers out to Section 8A and 8AA to see if there were any messages of recognition we could share. Todd Fritze on the Park Rapids Area Panthers jumped all over it. Here’s why.
Park Rapids have eight seniors that “have been an integral part of the program’s success not only this year, but for the last few years” said Coach Fritze. Seniors Maddie Langbehn, Maya Deshayes, Lizzie Seifert, Amelia Bagstad, Gabbi Shepersky, and Claire Voigt make up the senior squad. They have been a huge part of the last two Section 8A Championships, Section 8A True Team Championships, as well as Mid-State Championships.
It’s not just what these girls get done in the pool. It’ what they bring to the program as leaders. Coach Fritze shared “They have set into being leaders and lead by example in a positive way. With these girls leading our team this season, we are excited for what is coming in the next several weeks.”
Coach Fritze and the girls wish all the teams in the state good luck the rest of the season. Classy indeed ladies! The Vibe is proud to share your coach’s recognition of you and happily give you the Vibe seal of approval for your leadership and your commitment to your team. Well done ladies and well deserved!!!
