Coach Steph Turner passed away
November 24, 2004
It is with deep regret that I must inform everyone that Steph Turner passed away yesterday. Steph has been a great friend and well liked by many here at MAC and the swimming community.
Steph was 43 years old and came to us from her position as coach at the Eugene City Swim Club. She joined the MAC in November 2001 as an assistant swim coach for the juniors program and Masters Swim head coach. Recently, Steph was recently promoted to MAC Swim Instructional Supervisor. This month's Winged M featured Steph and the Swim America program being introduced at MAC in January. Prior to her northwest experience, Steph had enjoyed coaching success in Ohio and the New England area.
I will pass on any details concerning services when I find out any information.
