Honoring Sean Timmons and the 2014 Senior Class
Mike Stickle
Honoring Sean Timmons this year was a bittersweet event as he's leaving us for a new opportunity in Nashville, Tennessee. But, even though this lifelong New Jersey resident is moving to the Volunteer state, he will forever be a Scarlet Knight.
Sean is a letterwinner from ... well, too far back to remember, and an outstanding coach. As a team member, he contributed to the continuing competitive success of the co-ed team, and as a coach, he has been instrumental in bringing the All Girl team to national prominence with their outstanding performances at the UCA College Cheerleading National Competitions. Sean was introduced by Jason Bass '01, while teammates Bruce Hornik '99 and Eugene Geiss '00 and one of his athletes, Katie Aleman '13, were all in attendance.
We also sent off the graduating seniors with a few tears, a few laughs, and much love. Like Sean, they will forever be Scarlet Knights. This year's graduating seniors were:
Emily Amador (Dance, 4th year)
Rachel Clark (Dance, 3rd year)
