Happy Retirement!

Happy Retirement, Clare!

Yes friends, you read that correctly. Our very own Clare Bear is now retired!...from Division I swimming that is :) 

Over the weekend Clare and some other #25Hoes favorites finished their league championships and we couldn't be prouder. I mean look at this team!

Let's not forget she was the athlete of the week for her league back in November ;) 

Her 6:10am wake up times, her ever-so-long dry seasons, her long periods of having dry skin, and days of squeezing into her swimsuit are officially over. What a bittersweet moment for her! Clare we wish we had your determination, drive, and ability to stay positive! (Fun fact: Katie is tearing up just typing this because she can't believe 4 years of swimming are over and now she's realizing there are only a couple months until graduation). We love you Clare!

Shout out to a couple other #25Hoes favorites on the swim team

*Katelyn (her caramel apple dip is bomb)

*Alex (former Bosch 2 inhabitant!!)

*KeShawn (he took out our trash yesterday)

*Alicia (always so giggly)

*Michael (knows our city better than us)

Congrats Clare and Company!!
