Former Schroeder standout, Laura Luedke, writes: "Notice my choice of swim cap for my first open water swim (I conquered my fear of open water swimming with a 2.1 mile swim off the coast of Massachusetts!"

Chris and Kyle Hoppe walked off their plane that had just landed in Seattle and spied our Junior Team returning from competition.  The guys are out in the Pacific NW to rock climb for 10 days which was the goal of a fundraiser to help urban kids experience outdoor activities.  In the pic below I added Chris Meyers for perspective to show that in fact Hoppes do grow to be fine young men!

Former Schroeder great Dan Rowlands made an appearance at the 2009 US Open.  Dan is living in Seattle and works to for a firm that remediates hazardous environmental sites.  Dan got a pass and got down on the deck to say hello.  Good to see BIG RED!

Four years later, the shirt finally fits!

and from Melissa Kelley:

Hi Dave!

I hope you and your family are doing well.

I just got back from my first Boston Marathon.  I have to say that it was probably the hardest race of my entire life.  That course is brutal and I definitely was not very prepared for all of the hills.  I died hard the last 2 miles.  Regardless, it was a great experience and I surprisingly  shaved quite a bit of time from my Chicago performance finishing with a 3:16.  

You can check out the results here if you want: http://www.bostonmarathon.org/2009/cf/Public/TrackingIndividual.cfm?mode=multipleBegin

I was just excited to share my finish with my old coach.  :)

To add to the emotion and excitement of the day, my boyfriend, Mike, proposed to me after the race.  Looks like Ed has 2 weddings within a year, ha!

Hope to hear from you soon - take care,

Mel.

Hey Schroeder Alum!  I am planning to make a recognition wall at the pool recognizing you and where you went to college.  Each school will have a list of athletes.  For example:

University of Wisconsin - Madison

Jenny Will 2003 - 2007

Joe Ebingner 2002 - 2006

Scott Silvestri 1987 - 1990

Would you please complete my form and direct your friends to connect up as well?

Fill out my form!

Everything is going very well at Schroeder.  The pool is looking great after the renovations this fall.  Our team has grown and the athletes are doing very well across all age groups.  Matt and I are quite optimistic about our prospects and we have been working hard to retain our members, increase the programs we offer at Schroeder and pursue outside funding sources to help offset the expenses related to keeping your favorite pool up and running.

Dave

Great to see lots of Alumni at Schroeder over the holidays.  Two former greats returned for training on the 31st.  Dave Dorak is at Mizzou and Greg Zupek was home from UW.
