Senator Greg Rothman

It was an honor to recognize Addison Buckman and Mike Gobrecht in the this week. Both received citations for their remarkable accomplishments in the sport of swimming.

Addison is the PIAA 3A State Champion in the girls 100-yard butterfly and the state bronze medalist in the 100-yard backstroke. In addition, she earned multiple district titles with the Cumberland Valley School District Eagles and set 2 PIAA District 3 Records this season.

Coach Mike Gobrecht was recognized for his outstanding leadership at the West Shore YMCA. He served as the Director of Competitive Swimming at WSY Swimming of Central Pennsylvania from 1990 until his retirement in April. Over his 36-year tenure, he expertly developed athletes, helping them to achieve their fullest potential--with some becoming Olympic Trials qualifiers and Division I swimmers. He made the program into a national powerhouse.

Congratulations, again!
