Team Banquet Picnic!

The sun washed over a green and blooming Portland Sunday for the swim team’s annual banquet. This year’s gathering took the form of a picnic in Sellwood Park just across the river from campus. The park sits on a bluff overlooking the wildlife refuge, Oaks Park, the river, and downtown Portland beyond.

We celebrated with some great snacks and desserts before handing out varsity letters and a load of special awards.

Congratulations to all of Pioneer Swimming for a fantastic season with a wonderful group of people!
