Mundelein native to coach water polo at Carthage

Carthage College has selected Sarah Denny as its new headcoach for women's water polo.

Denny, a native of Mundelein, replaces Tom Carroll, who resigned this year.

Denny served as an assistant water polo coach at Mundelein High School from 2006 to 2009, as well as the head coach for the Cardinal Water Polo Club team in Mundelein. She graduated from Washington & Jefferson College in 2006 with a bachelor's in environmental health.

Denny was a four-year member of the President's water polo team, played on four-straight Collegiate Division III Tournament teams, and she was a four-time President's Conference all-academic pick.

She is employed as a project manager for Integrated Lakes Management in Waukegan.

"I look forward to working with Sarah," said Robert Bonn, Carthage director of athletics. "She has an excellent water polo background as a player and coach and has been a part of one of the best club and high school water polo areas in the country."

"I'm very excited," Denny said in a statement released by the collge. "The school has an impressive program already, and I can't wait to help contribute to their success."
