Loyalsock swimmers were called upon on Friday October 18, to participate in the a special half-time presentation at Williamsport Area High School's Homecoming game. The half-time event was held to officially launch a program sponsored by the WASD Education Foundation. The program is a capital campaign called "Return to Glory." The goal is to raise money to help restore the Williamsport High School's athletic complex. Student athletes from many sports participated to show the their support of the campaign.
Loyalsock students are fortunate to be given the opportunity by our school district and WASD to be able to participate on the swim team. Loyalsock members of the team were honored to be asked to participate in the event.
This program is responsible for getting some of the necessary funding to upgrade and improve many of the athletic facilities, including the WAHS Natatorium, which has list of much needed renovations. The plan is to replace the ventilation, pump, heating, ceiling, and lighting in the pool area, as well as renovations to areas around the pool such as the locker-rooms. The school opened in 1973. Age, over-use and diminishing funds for building maintenance have all played a role in the pools deterioration.
Loyalsock swimmers Christina R. Nicholas P., and Jolene D. are joined by
fellow Williamsport Swim Team members.
