The Five Parks Piranhas swim team is proud to announce the hiring of our new swim coach for the summer season 2012. Katie Hack, a Colorado native and longtime swimmer will head up our team for this coming season.
A little about Katie and her swimming background:
Katie has been swimming competitively since she was 8 years old, first on the club team, Riptide. While on this team she trained to compete in triathlons. Katie went to USAT Nationals and placed 2nd in the nation. She swam and trained for triathlons there until she was about 12 when she decided to focus only on swimming. Katie then switched to North Jeffco Swim Team, once she started high school she swam for the Wheat Ridge High School swim and dive team. She went to high school state for three out of the four years she was at Wheat Ridge HS. During her junior year she placed first in the 100 breaststroke and second in the 200 individual medley. While swimming both for the high school and North Jeffco, she was recruited by New Mexico State University. She is finishing up her sophomore year and still swimming for head coach Rick Pratt and assistant coach Liz Schoborg.
We look forward to Katie’s leadership and expertise in guiding our team.
