Berks County Aquatic Hall of Fame

This was a fun little trip down memory lane! I spied several Berks County Aquatic Hall of Famers along the way!

How are you doing? How are you handling quarantine and the global pandemic? If you've been struggling, please know that you are not alone. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help!

Each spring top aquatic student-athletes are nominated by their coaches to receive the annual Berks County Aquatic Hall of Fame Scholar-Athlete Awards. Thanks to the generous support of many members, families, and friends of the Berks County Aquatics Hall of Fame, we are pleased that our scholarship program has grown to a total of five awards! Please join us in congratulating the 2020 recipients of the Ed Deren Scholar-Athlete Awards (for swimming), the Chris Schorn Heebner... Diving Scholarship (for diving), and the To-Be-Named Water Polo Scholar-Athlete Awards (for water polo): Boys Swimming: Aiden McCurley (Governor Mifflin) Girls Swimming: Cameron Gring (Muhlenberg) Diving: Noah Clipman (Governor Mifflin) Boys Water Polo: Malachi Eberley (Wilson) Girls Water Polo: Carolyn Pitorak (Wilson) Our banquet has been rescheduled until 2021, so please watch to these scholarship checks and plaques to be delivered by the coaches or via USPS. No matter where these athletes are going next, they have already demonstrated that they have the skills to succeed in college and beyond! Congratulations, all!

The Berks County Aquatic Hall of Fame was really looking forward to welcoming our next class of inductees this May, but due to the current widespread public health concerns, we realized it was prudent to postpone our induction ceremony and banquet. The Berkshire Country Club was kind enough to reschedule our event for one year from the original date...Saturday, May 8th, 2021. Unfortunately, the invitations were already mailed before this decision was made. We will send new invitations in March of 2021. The BCAHoF remains committed to our mission of honoring aquatic achievements by Berks County residents and appreciates everyone's patience and flexibility during this uncertain time.

The Berks County Aquatic Hall of Fame is thrilled to announce the complete Class of 2020 - Jim Burkman, Danny Crigler, Breanna Lotus Folk, Erin Goodhart Kurtz, Ashley Hyneman, Ryan Kuser, Jack Ruth, and Scott Speece! Friends and family, please mark your calendars and start planning now! You will definitely want to be there when we welcome the Class of 2020 with a banquet and reception at the Berkshire Country Club on Saturday, May 9th, 2020 from 4:30 to 9 PM!!! Our Scholar-Athletes of the Year will be presented with their scholarships that night as well! In the meantime, please contact Denton Quick if you are interested in becoming a BCAHoF sponsor...especially if you would like to support our scholarship program!
