February 2024 Vikings Champion
Congratulations Fraser Lehman
Fraser has shown great strength within the Vikings Water Polo Community. At just 17 years old, Fraser suffered a cardiac arrest that altered his life and resulted in him no longer having the capacity to continue to compete at a National Level, yet Fraser has remained a force of positivity and is determined to stay involved and support his teammates while he waits for his clearance to return to the pool. Fraser, congratulations on being named our Vikings Champion! We wish you all the best on your journey ahead.
