Members of the Palatine Park District Tiger Sharks Swim Team Stepp Up
Swim team members honor Ben Stepp.
In the world of competitive swimming, there are many ways you can step up. By working harder to achieve your personal best time; by cheering on your teammates; and just be getting on those blocks and stepping up to start the next race.
This past summer, the Palatine Park District Tiger Sharks swim team lost a member of their aquatic family when Ben Stepp passed away during a tragic accident. This past weekend, at the 2nd annual Fall Frenzy swim meet, hosted by the Tiger Sharks at Elk Grove High School, the team stepped up in a big way in remembrance of their friend. Tiger Sharks swim team members wore specially created “Stepp Up” shirts for the meet to honor and remember their teammate, Ben Stepp.
