Swim:  Congratulations to our Flying Fish for winning the NVSL All Star Relays Wednesday night at Greenbriar Pool.  Despite the heat, our swimmers just couldn’t be beat!!  An especially huge congratulations to the Overlee Girls 15-18 Medley Relay for breaking the team and NVSL Relay Carnival Record!  Way to go Mary Kate Reicherter, Kayle Park, Ellie Ridgeway, Michaela Morrison!!
We’d also like to recognize graduating Senior Ellie Ridgeway for earning the 2017 NVSL Spirit Scholarship.  Ellie has been a member of the Overlee Swim Team for the past 11 years and will be attending the Georgia Institute of Technology this fall.  She was selected for the scholarship based on her swim team commitment and leadership, as well as her school and community involvement.
Our final NVSL dual meet will be this Saturday (7/22) with Chesterbrook.  Both teams are undefeated, so the Division One title is on the line yet again!  Please come out to cheer on our amazing Flying Fish in what is sure to be an exciting meet!!  We’ll be celebrating our graduating seniors prior to the meet, so please plan on arriving by 8:40AM.
