ASSISTANT COACH ALIE ZELENKY


Alie, our assistant coach, has been swimming since she was 7 years old, beginning her career at the Chambersburg YMCA. She started off as a sprinter, doing everything other than breast stroke. Ironically, breast stroke ended up being her favorite. Alie first made nationals for the West Shore YMCA team when she was 12. She was on the 400 medley relay which broke the national record. Alie made her first sectional cuts when she was 13, coming in 7th at sectionals when she was 14. As a high school swimmer for Mechanicsburg High School, she made states every year, being named to the all-state team as a freshman in the 200 IM. Alie is now swimming in the Big East Conference for the Pirates of Seton Hall University. She is majoring in nursing.
