My husband Jim and I saw her as we were walking to the Bashor Lounge in Heritage Hall. LeeAnne Sera (11/9/2012) smiled, said "Hi," and posed for this picture with Jim. LeeAnne flew down from Northern California for a Women of Troy Board meeting. She told us that she couldn't stay for the Senior Salute reception. Always so nice to see her. FIGHT ON, LeeAnne!
There were four Women of Troy athletes at the check-in desk. Naturally, Trojan Candy took their picture. The Seniors were Kaitlyn Couture (Lacrosse), Carley Horan (10/11/2012) (Lacrosse), Paige Keating (Tennis), and Tera Novy (Track and Field). FIGHT ON, Kaitlyn! FIGHT ON, Carley! FIGHT ON, Paige! FIGHT ON, Tera!
Once inside, Trojan Candy saw two familiar faces. Trojan Guild friend Christine Ofiesh asked me to take a picture of her with two friends. They were Steve Price and friend Bob Padgett.
Trojan Candy walked around the lounge, put my stuff on a chair, found Jim in line for the El Cholo food, and saw another familiar face. I interviewed Felicia Horvath (4/1/2016) when we were still volunteering at the Heritage Hall lobby desk. She is a graduating Senior this year and finishing her competitive career as a Pole Vaulter. FIGHT ON, Felicia!
Tara Quarrie introduced the Mistress of Ceremonies, Head Coach of the Women of Troy Beach Volleyball Team Anna Collier. Anna had all of the Seniors come to the front. She had each Senior introduce herself and tell the sport she competed in. Here is a picture of Anna with two Track and Field Seniors, Jenna Tong who competed in distances and the steeplechase and Katerina Berdousi who competed in the middle distances and Cross Country. FIGHT ON, Jenna! FIGHT ON, Katerina!
After every Senior introduced herself, all of them posed for this picture. In front are Natalie Kalibat, Jacquelyn Suitt, Lucy Worrall, Brianna Weinstein, Jenna Tong, and Felicia Horvath. In back are Natasha Strickland, Katherine Van Winkle, Sam Adams (2/4/2015), Tera Novy, Paige Keating, Carley Horan, Kaitlyn Couture, Kamali Houston, and Katerina Berdousi smiled for this picture. Congratulations, Women of Troy Seniors!
Trojan Candy roamed around the lounge and took more pictures of the Seniors.
What a SMASHING ending to a perfect day!
FIGHT ON to VICTORY, Women of Troy Beach Volleyball, in the first NCAA Championship!
