About Kacie

Coach Kacie’s love for life and those around her was very apparent in her infectious laugh and one of a kind smile. She brought a positive attitude to her everyday life whether with family, on the pool deck, or at work. Kacie made an everlasting impact on the lives of those she came in contact with. A huge part of Kacie’s life was swimming. Kacie began swimming in third grade. She swam club swimming and also swam for her high school (South Lyon East). Kacie was recruited by the University of Denver and continued her swim career as a Division I athlete.  While at Denver Kacie earned her Bachelors in Environmental Science. After returning home Kacie became an assistant coach at South Lyon East. Kacie was not only a coach to her athletes but a friend, role model, and mentor.  Kacie’s success in and out of the pool is attributed to her impeccable work ethic and determination. In order to honor her and keep her memory alive the Coach Kacie Memorial Foundation was created. Although Kacie left this world too soon, she left a small piece of herself with everyone whom she came in contact with.
