Loyola opens up fall season in new pool
5
David Jaffe
Freelance Reporter
It had been a long time
since the Loyola Academy
girls swim team had been
able to compete in a home
meet.
It’s been since the 2017
season to be exact.
Over the last year, the
pool at Loyola had undergone
complete renovations
and the long wait to have a
home meet has turned out
to be well worth it.
The Ramblers now have
a state-of-the art pool and
scoreboard and they competed
in their first home
meet since 2017 on Sept.
11 against St. Ignatius.
“It’s amazing to be back
swimming at Loyola and
we were really excited to
swim and compete for the
school here,” Loyola’s
Stephanie Udzielak said.
“There was a lot of fundraising
that went into
making this pool and after
competing today, the year
we had to swim and practice
away from school was
worth it.”
“There was a lot of work
and steps that went on behind
the scenes to get to
this point,” Loyola coach
Mike Hengelmann said.
“A lot of little preparations
that the coaching staff and
maintenance did to get all
of this ready. There was a
lot of effort and we’re real
thankful for that. The boys
and girls athletes put up
with a year of not having a
pool. This is my 16th year
coaching and I also went to
high school here so seeing
the pool the way it is now
is very surreal.”
There’s a lot to enjoy
about the new pool and facility.
“Honestly I really like
having the light,” Udzielak
said. “Our old pool was
pretty dark before. And
when we’re practicing in
the morning, you can see
the sun rising from outside.
It’s much more open. It
gives you another reason to
want to swim in this pool.”
“The fact that there are
more lanes and more space
has really helped us,” Hengelmann
said. “The girls
teams here have always
had large numbers which
is a blessing but because of
the issues with the old pool
at times was a curse. But
having the extra space with
the bigger lanes has been a
huge help to our team.”
Udzielak took second in
the 100-yard backstroke
Loyola Academy girls swimmer Stephanie Udzielak
swims in the 200-yard varsity medley on Sept. 11 in
Wilmette. David Kraus/22nd Century Media
in 1 minute, 2.26 seconds.
The key to her success was
pretty simple for her.
“I’ve worked really
hard on my underwaters,”
Udzielak said. “Sixty percent
of the back is underwaters.
You have to push
through the kicks underwater
and I think for most of
the race I did that well. My
last wall could have been
better but otherwise I was
happy with how I swam.”
She also took second in
the 200 individual medley
