October's FISH of the Month, 13-year old Alexandra Cramer,
is off to an impressive start to the 2009-2010 short course season. In just two
meets, she has managed to not only swim every event offered in her age group,
but has also swum personal best times in 13 of 14 events!
Alexandra, who swims with the Incredible FISH, has averaged
over 100% attendance throughout the fall. Undoubtedly her persistence,
consistent effort and hard work at practice have translated into improvements
in the competition pool. Additionally, Alex was one of only two Incredible FISH
who successfully swam in all four sessions as well as Saturday's between
session practice at the MSSC Senior Meet.
Alex, who has been swimming competitively since she was 8
years old, also plays the violin, enjoys drawing and has two cats (Buttercup
& Sophie) at home. The FISH coaches are eagerly monitoring Alex's progress
and are looking forward to her continued improvement and leadership by example.
