Annette Salmeen, a four-time All-American at UCLA, NCAA champion in the 200 Butterfly and Gold Medallist at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, opened her medal case for curious students at the WPS poolside on March 6. She was offering technique and training instruction plus one-on-one coaching for Priory swimmers. Cory Olcott, a well-known water polo coach— among other things, he founded the Stanford women’s team—joined the Priory faculty in January and arranged the special session. And Annette isn’t just a great sports role model—she earned a PhD from Oxford in biology and is currently a fellow at Stanford working on cell development.
Three acclaimed young classical performers appeared on the campus this winter in a special program that combined an “artist in residence” day and concert on the campus with a free, evening performance for the local public. The series was the inspiration of a Priory parent who is affiliated with Young Concert Artists, Inc. in New York. The music of Wendy Chen, piano, Robert Belenic, guitar,andNaokoTakada,marimba,wasbreathtakinglylovely. ThenewlyexpandedChapelwasa perfect setting for a small concert.
