Wahoos wow

The Wahoos swim team has been a favorite summer activity of kids in the Wilchester neighborhood for years. It is a fun way to pass the long summer days and improve swimming skills. But, if you asked the kids what their favorite part of being a Wahoo was, they would most likely say it was spending time with the coaches. The Wahoos head coaches this summer were Henry Genez (a Wahoo since 2008), Bryce Oliphant and Kyle Brown. The 10 assistant coaches were Abbilyn McEvoy, Ricky Conticello, Hana Riley, Diego Oliver, Charlie Amis, Luisa Becerra, Audry Bown, Lauren Conticello, Wade Hicks, and Carter Phillips. The Wahoos won both of their home meets this season. Pictured are members of the Wahoos 9/10 Boys including (back row, from left) Christopher Pelliccio, Henry Candler, Clayton Pelliccio, Bode Orsak, Pearson Danna, Callaway Sherrill; (front row, from left) Kenneth Nguyen, Carter Ramey, JB Foy, Harry Hilliard, Rory Moore, and Benjamin Antosh.
