Remembering Coach Janet!
This beautiful display was installed this week and will feature DeSales Athletic accomplishments. The family of Janet Federspiel so kindly donated this board in her memory. Coach Janet was a beloved swim coach and grandmother of two DeSales students. She passed away in 2021. If you ask any of her former swimmers, they would describe her as encouraging, knowledgeable, loving and always smiling! She was the best! Coach Janet left a remarkable legacy on the pool deck and in the hearts of all who knew her.
Thank you to her family for bringing this Athletic display to DeSales!
