BROKEN RECORD ALERT! Congrats to Ashley Wanninger

WeAreColerain.com Staff


Stop me if you've heard this before: "Congratulations to Colerain girls basketball player SR Ashley Wanninger for winning..." It really has become a broken record with this young lady and her accomplishments.

This is a big one, however. This week, Ashley was named the Cincinnati Enquirer's Girls Basketball Player of the Year - Division I. SEE ARTICLE HERE. There is no shortage talented girls basketball players in the city and for Ashley to be named the best is quite an honor. And one that she has definitely earned.

Congrats to Ashley on this impressive achievement!

PS: I wonder how many of our readers even know where the phrase "broken record" came from??

New Cardinal Swimming Coach Announced!

From the desk of the AD, Dan Bolden:

Colerain High School announces the appointment, pending Board approval, of Caroline McIver, Colerain High School English teacher, to the position of Head Swimming Coach.



Caroline comes to the position after two years as the assistant coach at Colerain High School . Coach McIver has a wealth of experience as both a competitive swimmer and coach. She has spent the last several years as the Head Coach of a successful summer swimming program and regularly handles over 200 competitive swimmers at events during the late spring and summer.



Coach McIver looks to build on the great team chemistry, energy, and enthusiasm created by former Head Coach Stephanie Janke; who recently stepped down after 12 years of dedicated and faithful service with four straight trips to state finals competition.



We are excited to have Coach McIver take over our swimming program. We believe she will build on the strong foundation established and continue to grow a program that has exploded over the last few years into a high energy and competitive group of enthusiastic student-athletes.
