Not only did Penny do an amazing job at swimming both her solo and team routine, but she also was one of our MCs and did crucial work behind the scenes to make the show happen. She found and coordinated a volunteer to work the admissions stand and handled the microphone issues when we were having technical difficulties. We couldn't have done the show without her!
