It is devastating seeing someone who has put so much into this team be shut out. Signing this petition for Coach Grace feels like one of the few ways we can show how much she has meant to this program and the athletes she has supported over the years. She has been more than just a coach — she has been a mentor, a leader, and a consistent source of encouragement for every member of this team. Coach Grace created an environment where athletes felt supported, motivated, and challenged to grow both in competition and as individuals. It’s difficult to imagine the future of this program without someone who has dedicated so much time, energy, and care to helping it succeed. This petition is a reflection of the respect and appreciation so many of us have for everything she has done for our team.
