Teays Physical Therapy Center, Inc. and The Putnam Herald are pleased to present this week’s Female Gamer of the Week to junior, Julia Bobersky of the Hurricane high school swim team.
The Hurricane women’s swim team has had a strong couple of weeks. They won the Putnam County Championship, placed third at the Mountain State Athletic Conference meet, and third at the Region IV Championships. Among the talented swimmers, is junior Julia Bobersky. “Julia brings a unique spirit to our team. She works hard but has a lighthearted outlook that is infectious to everyone around her. She can perform in any event needed and is always willing to step up when needed. I have had the privilege of coaching her for 10 years and watching her grow as a swimmer and person has been nothing but a pleasure,” said Coach Kendra White.
Julia has had some outstanding performances this past week. At the Putnam County Championship, she placed 1st in the 50 Free, 2nd in the 100 Fly, 1st in the 400 Free Relay, and 2nd in the 200 Medley Relay.
