On Monday, July 18, Mike, Sally, Katie and Maggie Burns lost their daughter and sister, Elizabeth, 16. Ellie was on a camping expedition in Wyoming when a dead tree uprooted, striking her as she made camp some 60 feet away. Ellie was to start her junior year at LFHS this fall.
Ellie did not swim competitively with LFSC while Maggie swam briefly in our Mighty Ducks program and Katie swam in every level of the team. Katie continued her carreer at Colorado College. Mike, Sally and the entire Burns family has a 15+ year association with club, always supporting the club with friendship smiles and more than a few turns as lane timers.
Mike, Sally, Katie, Maggie . . . you are in the hearts, thoughts and prayers of Coach Mo, Michael, Cindy and Laurel and the entire Lake Forest Swim Club family . . .
