 LAKE WORTH- Replacing legendary Trinity Christian swim coach John Kjaerulff will be no easy task, but Allison Templin may be one of the few who can do it. The former University of Arkansas standout was mentored by Kjaerulff at the East Coast Aquatic Club and will now follow in his footsteps as the next TCA swim coach.
Last season, Kjaerulff led the program to several medals at the state championships, including two golds for University of Florida commit Chade Nersicio. While Nersicio is off to Gainesville in the fall, the TCA roster is still loaded with talent. Templin will call on her experience as a decorated swimmer to lead the Warriors to new heights. In high school (Suncoast), Templin earned All-American status in the 200m and 500m free and was also named the 2008 "Palm Beach County Swimmer of the Year." In addition, in 2007, she set the county meet record in the 500m freestyle. At Arkansas she was a four-time scoring contributor at the SEC championships and excelled by posting National and Olympic qualifying times. Trinity swimming will begin practice on August 12 immediately after school.
