A salute to our loyal supporters

In print | Published December 3, 2009

To the Swarthmore Community,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago our season came to an end, but in the mean time, each one of us has had the opportunity to sit back and reflect on what is behind us.

During this time, it has not been hard to see this past season as a success.

Every year the bar seems to be raised higher and we become less satisfied with our previous successes.

We know that a national championship is something that is realistically within reach at this point and it is because of everything put into this program and the support from the community.

Every August we come back to Swarthmore ready to put forth nothing less than 100 percent.

Through reflection, however, it has become obvious that it takes more than just effort to achieve the level of success that we have already obtained and the level of success we strive for in the future.

We realize the extra piece in the equation has been and will continue to be the tremendous support we receive from you and the rest of the Swarthmore community.

We would therefore like to use this column to show our appreciation and gratitude to all of the loyal fans, parents, Adam Hertz, Christyn Chambers, Ray and Larry, the trainers (especially Alison and Jared), all of the other members in the field house, faculty, the Sharples staff (especially Pat and Donny), and the Swarthmore community at large for helping us to have another successful season.

Thank you for encouraging us to raise the bar each year and making our jobs easy. Seriously, there was a reason that we went undefeated at home this year!

Thank you.
