Meet the Coaches for 2010

Molly Clennon—Head Coach
630-904-1494 Ext 22
E-Mail: Coach@rrraptors.org
 
 
Molly is a freshman at Augustana College. She has swam for fourteen years for various teams, including the Naperville Riptides, River Run Raptors, FOX Valley, Benet Academy, making the Sectionals Team all four years and the State Team her senior year. This past year she swam on Augustana College's varsity team and was named CCIW Swimmer of the Week in October. She is in the Pre-Pharmacy program at Augustana. Coach Molly’s favorite part of the River Run Raptors is how much team spirit and enthusiasm the team has! She hopes for the 2010 season that the Raptors will be just as successful as last summer and can't wait for a fun summer!

 


 

Laurel Sieber
This is Coach Laurel’s second season with the Raptors, and we are very excited to have her on this summer’s coaching team. She has been swimming for eleven years, for the Naperville Racquet Club, FOX Valley, Delta Aquatics, and the Waubonsie Valley Varsity Swim Teams. A Junior at the University of Illinois, Coach Laurel’s swimming accomplishments include being a four-time member of the Waubonsie Valley Sectional Team, a State Meet Qualifier, and a member of an All-American relay team. She has been coaching in the Naperville Park District for six years, and her favorite events are the breaststroke and freestyle. 
 
Tricia Bannister
Coach Tricia has not only been a coach for the Raptors for the past three years, she’s also swam for the team since 2001. As a Junior at Neuqua Valley High School, she currently swims for both their team and the FOX Valley Swim Team and plays water polo for NVHS. Her favorite events are the 50 & 100 Freestyles, and the 100 Breaststroke. Some of Coach Tricia’s greatest assets to the coaching staff are her cheering capabilities and dedication to the team.
 
Hans Peters
Coach Hans is a Senior at Neuqua Valley High School. He swims on the Varsity team and was on the State Champion team last year. He moved from the Netherlands when he was 14 and started swimming when he was 6 years old. This is his third year as a Raptor coach and holds many Raptor records in the fly and backstroke.
 
Morgan Gathe
A Junior at Neuqua Valley High School, Coach Morgan has swam on their team in addition to the White Water Aquatics Club, Naperville Riptides, Fox Valley Swim Team, and River Run Raptors - for whom she's been swimming since she was seven. No stranger to the Raptors, Coach Morgan was an apprentice coach during the 2007 swim season and gives private lessons to many children of the neighborhood. Her favorite part of swimming is "the feeling of exhilaration of knowing your hard work paid off when you win points for your team or you get the time you wanted", which embodies the goal of the River Run Raptors!
