In a heartwarming story, Harpeth Hall graduate Gretchen Walsh broke a world record at the U.S. Olympic Swimming trials on Saturday. She now holds the record for swimming the fastest women’s 100-meter butterfly in the world, beating the previous record by 30 milliseconds.
Walsh posted a time of 55.18 seconds in a semi-final heat at the U.S. Olympic Swim trials in Indianapolis, de-throning a Swedish swimmer from the World Record title. Her school, Harpeth Hall, expressed how proud they are of her and posted about her win on social media. Even Olympic great Michael Phelps took notice of her record and shared it on his Instagram story.
In another story, Ms. McMurray, a beloved teacher at Harpeth Hall who is living with brain cancer, is being celebrated by her students and faculty alike as she faces this difficult battle. Teachers hold a special place in our hearts as they have such an impact on our lives, shaping us into who we are today. Despite her illness, Ms. McMurray has poured so much love and care into her students, who are now returning that love when she needs it most. This heartwarming story by Forrest Sanders reminds us of the importance of teachers in our lives and their lasting impact on us all.
Ms. McMurray’s bravery and strength in the face of adversity are truly inspiring to all who know her, including her students who are rallying around her to show their support and appreciation for all she has done for them.
As for Walsh’s impressive feat at the Olympics trials, she still has more races to compete in to try and secure her spot on the team representing Team USA at this year’s Summer Olympics Games in Tokyo Japan.
Both stories highlight how important it is to appreciate those who have had an impact on our lives and inspire us to do great things like Gretchen Walsh or Ms. McMurray’s bravery and strength despite their circumstances.
