Coach Tjettis talked of the season, especially how the Varsity team came out stronger this year and opened the eyes of all the other competitors. After Coach Tjettis announced his retirement from Salem, Varsity Captain, Teghan Malionek spoke of Coach Tjettis and all of his accomplishments throughout his years of coaching and how he helped so many young athletes.
