STATE CHAMPIONS! CAL BOYS AND GIRLS SWIM TEAMS COMBINE TO WIN TITLE
For the first time in school history, the Christian
Academy of Louisville swimmers are STATE CHAMPIONS!
It was an exciting weekend as the CAL Boys and Girls Swim
Teams participated in the KHSAA State Swim Championships
and came home with numerous awards! Three individual state
champions, All-State honors, Outstanding Competitor Award,
Coach of the Year recognition and most importantly the State
Championship for Combined Boys and Girls Teams.
CAL had 12 swimmers advance to the state meet held at the
University of Louisville Natatorium that began with preliminary
heats on Friday, Feb. 26th and continued with finals on Saturday, Feb. 27th.
For the boys, Junior Nick Albiero easily defended his two individual state
titles. Favored to win both the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke, Nick coasted to victory in both races, just .5 and .6 off the State Record in each event.
Nick led off the 200 Free Relay setting a new school record with a 20.90 in
the 50 Free and broke his own school record in the 100 Fly (47.63). Both
men’s relays, 200 Medley and 200 Free (Albiero, Jason Coultrap, Broder
Magnuson, Jake Burd), also set new school record. Nicks performances
earned him All-State Team honors as well as Outstanding Competitor of the
meet.
Head Coach Amy Albiero was especially proud of the boys team this year.
Last year the boys finished 8th overall, and this year they earned a well deserved 4th place finish! Others participating for the boys were:
Senior- Jason Coultrap-50 free; 100 free; 200 Medley Relay; 200 Freestyle Relay
Jake Burd-100 Breastroke; 200 Medley Relay; 200 FreeStyle Relay;
Broder Magnuson-200 Medley Relay; 200 Freestyle Relay
Next up was the girls meet. The CAL Girls Team’s performance was outstanding and contributed greatly to Christian Academy’s win in the Combined Team
category.
The most exciting victory of the night belonged to eighth grader Gabi Albiero.
Surprising herself, Gabi raced to an amazing 1st place finish in the 50 freestyle.
Setting a NEW state record and school record (22.80) and beating out a heavily
favored senior for the championship, Gabi exited the pool deck to a very happy
group of CAL family and friends and embraced her coach and mother, Amy
Albiero. Gabi also took 4th place in the 100 freestyle and was a member of the
200 and 400 Freestyle Relays that set new school records. Her performances earned her All-State Team honors. New school records were also set by: Cameron Brown – 200 Free (1:49.94), and Rachel Howard –
100 Breast (1:05.06). (continued on next page)

SCOTTY KRANTZ SIGNS TO PLAY FOOTBALL AT LINSDEY WILSON COLLEGE
Congratulations to senior, Scotty Krantz, who signed a letter of
intent to play football at Lindsey Wilson College.
After several game day visits to other colleges, Scotty committed to Lindsey Wilson.
“I've built a good relationship with the coaches at Lindsey Wilson over the past two years, and I really like the academic drive
of the school,” said Krantz.
CAL assistant football coach, Jason Hilliard said, “I’m so proud
of the player Scotty has become. I always want my players to be
better when they leave here and that is true for Scotty.”
“Scotty was a great leader for us this season. His leadership is by
action and hard work, which was a great example for our younger players,” said CAL head football coach, Stefan LeFors.
“Scotty never missed a day in the weight room. We asked him to
play a new position and he stepped up and embraced it.”
Scott Krantz, Scotty’s father, echoed Coach LeFors’ praise of
his positive attitude and dedication.
“Scotty just goes in and does the job without complaining.
We have made wonderful memories watching him play football over the years,” said Mr. Krantz.
Scotty concluded the signing ceremony by thanking
his parents and coaches for keeping him in line and
being great role models.
Krantz was named 1st Team All-District this year
and plans to major in Business Management at Lindsey Wilson.

We are also excited to announce that Coach Lile has been recognized as a Certified Speed and Agility Coach by Athletes Acceleration. The program was put together by the premier speed and agility trainer Lee Taft. It has been reviewed by and being implemented by the top coaches in America. Eric Cressey is one of the most successful S&C
coaches in our industry and he understands the value of the program. He will do a certification for the knowledge, not
for the resume building. He wants to make sure there are practical strategies that have been implemented in the trenches, not in a magical theoretical paradigm. Coach Cressey actually went through the course and to say that it's excellent
would be an understatement, he is actually implementing it as part of his staff training curriculum; all Cressey Sports
Performance coaches will be CSAC by the end of the spring. He went on to say “I really couldn't care less about the
initials, though; it's about getting quality information from a guy who has dedicated the last 25 years of his life to
teaching speed and agility to athletes from all different sporting disciplines.” The training principles learned in this program will be used on all the program Coach Lile trains at CAL.
To get the latest information on our program follow us on Facebook (Centurion Sports Performance) or on Twitter
(@cfoundry). If you have any questions or want to take a tour of our facility and our Sports Performance Program,
please contact Coach Lile at (502) 457-6805 or [email protected].
It’s a Blessed and Great life! ~ Coach Lile
