Making a Splash!
March 14, 2024
• Needham Boys Swim and Dive team finished off their season with a distinguished run in the Division 1 State finals. We had a chance to catch up with one of its star athletes, junior Vann Hotchkiss to talk about his record-breaking performance and the outlook for his senior year.
Most athletes will tell you that raw talent will only get you so far. No matter how gifted you are, if you don’t put in the work, if you don’t bring in the right mindset, there are limits to how far you can go.
