Becky Pratt, who had served as an assistant with the Enumclaw High girls swim program, has been promoted to the top job.

EHS Athletic Director Phil Engebretsen announced June 22 that Pratt will succeed Laini Goodlett, who stepped aside after one season at the helm to pursue other career opportunities.

Pratt is certainly no stranger to Enumclaw swim circles. Born and raised in Enumclaw, she was a member of the Dolphin Swim Club and then became a four-year letter-winner for the Hornets. During the 1988 season she was part of Enumclaw High’s state championship performance.

She became the Enumclaw Fire Department’s first female firefighter/emergency medical technician, eventually leaving to expand her family. She then continued her passion for promoting health through a nursing career. Keeping a hand in swimming, she has coached the Rainier Foothills Swim Team.
