Christina Samela 2010 Kim Miller Memorial Award Recipient
Kim Miller loved synchro and the Hamden Heronettes. Her mom always said
that Kim was the happiest when she was swimming. Synchronized Swimming
and the Hamden Heronettes were such an important part of her life, that
she was laid to rest in her HHC uniform. All Kim wanted to do was swim
synchro. No one could keep Kim away from the pool, even during the
toughest periods of her illness.
Christina is a leader of her team, and leads by example. She is a scholar athlete. Her teammates look up to her for guidance, support, and corrections. She has great choreography ideas that can be put to good use next season. You will never hear her complain. I proudly present this year's Kimberly R. Miller Memorial Sportsmanship Award to Christina Samela.
