News of the worst kind comes from Oskhosh, where Natalie Bolin -- a star swimmer for the Oshkosh West girls swim team -- died from injuries suffered in a car accident Saturday night. Bolin and three others, including Leah Bolin, fellow Oshkosh West swimmer Jennifer Rothe, and Oshkosh North/Lourdes swimmer Rachel Revolinski, were apparently on their way back home after watching the Div. 1 boys state swim meet Saturday.
From the Oshkosh Northwestern:

Word spread quickly through the Wisconsin swim community Sunday about the tragic accident. Bolin, a junior, had been a three-time state qualifier for her Oshkosh West team, following in the footsteps of her older sisters Ashley and Stephanie. All four of the girls in the accident were members of the Oshkosh YMCA Dolphins swim team, which posted this message on its home page:

The Dolphins website also has a link to information about a memorial that has been established in Natalie's name.
Also, this was recently posted on the Oshkosh Northwestern website regarding a Facebook page dedicated to Natlie:

Our deepest sympathies are extended to the Bolin family and the Oshkosh swim community.

Arrowhead had to deal with a similar situation with the passing of one of their swimmers the Wednesday night before state. Our hearts go out to the Thomann family and the AHS Boys Swim Team.
