We all know I did!!!!

2000	Michelle Groene groeneml@gmail.com	Hey everyone! I graduated from Miami University in 2004 with a bachelor's in English (journalism focus) and a minor in film studies. I then moved to NYC where, after a brief stint working for CBS, I made the move to advertising. I love it and couldn't be happier. While my own dance experience has been limited since my Highlighter days ended, I've been known to bust out one of the moves on occasion - usually in my kitchen or when I'm alone in the elevator! I also tend to recall my dance team days when I go to Broadway shows, where I find I'm one of the worst critics - I always count along with the music and point out who's off or messing up. Ha ha. Anyway, this is a great site, keep it up and keep in touch!

2000	Julie (Schwendenmann) Mercer schwenjl@yahoo.com	Hey everyone! I attended UC and am currently working in nuclear medicine. I got married in 2007 and my son Hudson was born in February 2008-time is flying by! I have so many amazing memories from my time as a Highlighter, and I feel lucky to have had that experience. My dad is still the announcer at the Seton competition and I have to admit that State videos have been pulled out at family parties!

2000	Liz Brodbeck rockstar@zoomtown.com	Hey guys! I went to Aveda Fredrick's Institute in Hyde Park right out of high school and graduated in 2001. I now work at Amy Luebber's Salon on Glenway Ave. and love it. I have been just loving life and surrounding myself with good friends making for good times. I miss dancing and have had slight withdrawal, not gonna lie! I would love to hear from some people and let me know what's going on in your world.

1999	Alicia (Aufdemkampe) McCarren aliciamccarren@hotmail.com	Hey! No real news, just saw the website! Still dancing, just different style. I'm the Cincinnati Dancing with the Stars champion and Cincinnati Dancesport international latin champion 2006 and 2007!

1999	Katie (Aufdemkampe) Senkarik kasenkarik@tampabay.rr.com	Hey guys! I just realized I've been married almost a year and haven't updated myself here! I still love being a Catholic school Art teacher and love living here in central Florida especially in the winter--cause I had such a great time at the UDA competition this past year and can't wait for next year! Hope everyone is doing well!!!

1999	Lauren (McCarthy) Wall laurenmac3@yahoo.com	I graduated from Xavier University with a BSBA in 2003. Since then I have worked for a market research firm called BASES. I was just married less than 3 weeks ago and am enjoying settling down in my new home (west-side of Cincy) with my husband Jon. I love to watch the dance teams and especially support coach Kelly and Sr. dancer Olivia.

1998	Colleen Mahoney cmm24002@yahoo.com	Well I am a mother of three wonderful children, Kelsey 7, Shelby 3, and Henry 1. Kelsey is on a dance team here in Lawrenceburg. Wow, how great is it to watch her dance! I am in school for early childhood education and hope to open my own child care center someday. I am also running a preschool out of my house so if you know anyone in Lawrenceburg area looking for preschool send them my way. Go Highlighters!!!!

1998	Sara Utecht	I just started my fifth year of employment with Mount St. Joe (where I've seen several of you!!!). I work in the admission office as a college admission counselor.

1998	Julie (Johnson) Kowalewski julie_kowalewski@yahoo.com	WOW! I am so glad to hear how many of you are doing! After graduating from Seton, I attended Ohio State University and majored in Medical Dietetics and became a registered dietitian. So how it is that I came to work as a sales manager at the Embassy Suites Cincinnati RiverCenter, who knows? My husband Richie and I married in 2004 and we just built a house in Hebron, KY. My involvement in dance since the Highlighters has been kinda funny....took some ballet with Kerr at OSU, danced with Megan and Liz on Blaze (ha!!) and now I too have been trying to convince my husband to take dance classes with me (see Erin Burlage's entry about her husband's interest level and ability!) Can't wait til the reunion!

1998	Megan (Murray) Hughes mhughes7980@yahoo.com	Hi everyone!!! How fun is this page! I love reading about what everyone is doing with their lives! I did continue my dance career after Seton...I was in 2 CYPT plays at the Westwood Town Hall, and then I was on the Blaze dance team for a couple of years. I also taught dance for Holly Brown Dance Studio for 2 or 3 years until they moved out of town. I'm not dancing right now but would love to get back into it! I got married in 2004 and we had our beautiful baby girl Andersen on June 7, 2005! I love being married, and being a mom! It's so much fun! I'm so lucky that I get to be with her every day and I can't wait to have more babies!!! I can't wait to see everyone at the reunion!!!

1998	Laura Benken benken5@yahoo.com	Hi all! Great to catch up with everyone. I am working at Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati, focusing on special events and employee recognition/engagement. On October 14, my fiancé Nick and I will be married – can’t wait! On the dance front, I enjoyed coaching with Seton for a few years after college, and this fall, will be teaching a few studio classes and training to become a judge! The website looks great, and the Seton Dance program is getting stronger – great job!

1998	Ann Daria ann2007@cinci.rr.com	So, I just found out about this website from Jill Lamey, who I ran into dropping off my oldest daughter Kaylee at try-outs for the Mini Highlighters! I am a proud mother of 3. Kaylee (8), Nathan (6) and Mia (4). I am a Clinical Research Coordinator working for Community Research doing General Med studies. My daughter Kaylee dances for Tracey at Miracle and Mia will be taking Traceys Pom class starting in September, so the only dancing I do is taking the girls to their classes. Nathan's a football star and hates to dance (he must get that from his dad). I'm glad I got to see that everyone is doing great!

1998	Jill Lamey jlamey92680@hotmail.com	I am coaching the Varsity Team with Theresa and can not believe I am in my 11th coaching season! Outside of this my "day job" is working for Interstate-Truckway, Inc. in their corporate office and really enjoying it. Hope to see you all soon and be sure to check out the current Highlighters they are amazing!!!!

1998	Julie (Willig) Hull jmhull@travelers.com	Hey Girls! What a great website. Not living in Cincinnati I don't see much of anyone anymore so it's great to catch up and see how everyone is doing. I am currently living in Avon, OH (just outside of Cleveland) with my wonderful husband Matt. We are expecting our first little one in the beginning of September and can't wait! I can't say that I have kept involved in dance but I do find myself scoping out dance studios around the area to make sure that I'll have some where to take my kids:) My 2 nieces take dance from Tracy at Miracle Dance Studio in Delhi and I try to go up and watch the end of their practices every time I am home. It's great to see that everyone is doing so well!!

1998	Jenna Schweizer j_schweiz@hotmail.com	Hey Ladies!! After Seton, I graduated from DAAP, UC in 2003 with a degree in Graphic Design. Since then, I've started a design company / stationery shop in Historic Glendale called Pink Ink Design Group with two fine women I met in studio at UC- you'll see us at all the wedding shows around town - we design wedding invites! And... I'm currently starting my ELEVENTH year of coaching the Seton Mini Highlighters!! Go Team!

1998	Katrina (Metzger) Hartsel	O.k. so this is webpage is great!!! I love to see what everyone is doing with themselves. I am just enjoying being a mommy to my 2 year old daughter Sophia. I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of a little boy who is due in Sept. I miss dancing a ton... the only dancing I do is in the living room with my daughter. I have been married now for 3yrs and am having a blast. I cant wait till the reunion!!!

1996	Aron Winkler awinkler@cinradio.org	I am currently teaching dance with Tracey at Miracle Dance Theater and loving it. It is awesome to think that I may be teaching one of the next Highlighters! I also work at Cincinnati Public Radio and have been here for 6.5 years. I have a son (Cody) who is 9 and is in the 4th grade at St. Dominic. He is a blue belt in Tae Kwon Do and takes Hip Hop at Miracle (loves to dance like his mom)!!!

1996	Julie (Maynard) Herms Jewels31@hotmail.com	Yeah! What a fun page! Well I just got married in April and moved to Charlestown, IN. It is right outside Louisville, KY. I have already been scooping out high schools on the Louisville side for their dance teams,( Assumption and Accension) with hopes of having a daughter someday. As for dance, my now husband and I took ballroom dance lessons ( his idea!!) for our first dance at our wedding. We loved it so much we are going to continue to take them. I currently work for Kforce Professional Staffing as the Service Coordinator for their Finance and Accouting department.

1996	Cheri' (Neville) LaEace claeace@cinci.rr.com	Wow, it is wonderful to see that all of the current coaches are former Seton dance team members themselves! That is something to be proud of. Although I never personally danced after leaving the Highlighters, I did coach the Dater Cougarettes Drillteam for 5 years. After graduating from Thomas More College in Accounting, Business & PreLaw studies I worked for a few years in the accounting field. I'm also now a licensed Real Estate Agent & loving it! Now I've moved on to spend my days chasing around my 3 wonderful chidlren, Peyton, Jason & Lucabella. My twins (4 yr old boys) keep me active with preschool, baseball and much more. My little girl certainly keeps me on my toes too. Although she does not dance yet, she starts gymnastics this summer and dance classes this fall. I'm not sure if I'm ready to be the mother of a dancer yet (which I'm sure is more stressful than actually being a dancer), but we'll find out! Also, for those of you who remember him, I married my high school sweetheart, Eric.

1995	Shannon Rose shayrose@hotmail.com	I am currently working on a Masters Degree at Xavier University in Counseling, while coaching the Junior Highlighters for my 3rd year. I have one more year of school left which will be spent interning at St. Aloysius Orphanage. I also work at Cincinnati Color Press as a Human Resource Consultant and I bartend at Head First Sports Cafe.

1995	Jen (Hay) Morena dmorena90@fuse.net	Hello Highlighters! What a great website!!! Since graduating from Seton 13 years ago (yikes) I have hung up my Jazz Shoes :) My husband Dan and I live in East Price Hill with our two sons, Vito (8) and Sal (6).Of course having no daughters makes it hard to keep up with Seton Dance. My life is all football all the time... St. William, Elder, UC, Notre Dame, Bengals..etc. My niece, Rosie Morena is currently on the Mini's and I have gone to see a few of her performances over the years. I've been working for Huntington Investment Company downtown for 7 years. It was great to see everyone at the Reunion! Hope to see everyone again soon! Good Luck to all the Highlighters in the upcoming year!!!

1995	Angela (Kramer) Aull angaull@gmail.com	I just found out about this website, what a great way to catch up with everyone. My husband, Jimmy and I just had our first child, Johnathan he is now 4 months old. I am also working at Cincinnati Children's Hospital as an RN in the intensive care unti and working on my Masters in Nursing at NKU. I'd love to come and see what the team is up to, the pictures look great!

1995	Katie (Shaffer) Klus katieklus@yahoo.com	This is such a great website! Thanks to all who work on it. My husband, Pat, and I have 2 wonderful children, Andrew (2&1/2) and Leah (2months). Andrew dances anytime there is music playing, but I'm not sure he has any rhythm, the dancing is pretty wild! I taught special ed. for 5 years (3 years in Cleveland) but now enjoy staying home. We moved back to Cincy 4 years ago and it's great to be home near family. I often saw the Highlighters perform when Pat was teaching at Seton and loved it! I can't wait to come watch them in the new gym this year.

1995	Erin (Burlage) Flowers erinflowers@fuse.net	Since graduating from Seton, I have retired from dance myself, although I have been trying to convince my husband to take lessons with me… (To those of you that know Matt, stop laughing!) I attended cosmetology school and have been licensed since 1997, but have not yet worked in a salon. After working several years in an office, I decided to stay home with my children. Faith is 9 and looking forward to starting 4th grade at Our Lady of Victory. She was on the Twinkle Team last year, but seems to have her father’s rhythm. Emily is 4 and will be entering Kindergarten in the fall at OLV. She does not have her father’s rhythm, although we wish she did. Some of the moves she comes up with in our living room are a little scary. We will see what extracurricular activities she chooses to pursue. Luke will soon be 2. Although we do not plan on dance in his future, other than goofing around in the living room with his sisters, we will see! I have dropped in on a few competitions through out the years, and am always amazed at the awesome talent and the changes! I will scan and upload some of the ancient pictures from the 1994/95 Gold Medal team and our 8 minute show “Bat Dance”! Good luck again next year and the years to come!

1992	Erin (Becker) Gorczyca ebecker@aerotek.com	Congratulations to all the teams for having another great season!! I have been working for Aerotek for almost 6 years now, and although my job duties haven't changed much, I do oversee the Cincinnati and Columbus offices now. I was married in 2005 to Chad and we now have a beautiful little girl named Ella who was born in February, 2007. Although I am glad not to be dancing anymore, I can't wait for Ella to start dancing so that I can cheer her on. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion!!

1992	Jeni (Bayer) Schwiers jenidancer@fuse.net	After graduating from Seton, I fulfilled my dream of opening my own dance studio, where I can share my passion for dance with my students. Spotlight Dance Center is now in its 8th year, and our competition team is doing great! I now have 3 little girls - Hayley (5), Eva (3) and Audrey (1), so I'm sure I have MANY recitals and competitions in my future!

1992	Lynn (Loftus) Wambaugh mlwambaugh@fuse.net	Hi all! What a great website this is! I always wonder what all of my old drill team buddies are up to. Great hearing from you all! I have been busy with John (3) and Kate (3 months)! I enjoy staying at home with them and fill my passion for teaching through private tutoring in my home. Marc and I have been married now for 7 years! Wow! Take care!! :)

1992	Erin (Crotty) Brumfield choc4all@fuse.net	Still living on the west side with my husband Tony and our five children; Tony, Jr.(1996), Brianna(1999), Elizabeth(2001), Jessica & Olivia (2002). After 10 Years of working in a salon I am now a stay at home mom. I haven't danced since graduating but watching my 4 girls dance is even more rewarding, especially since Tracey is teaching them at Miracle Dance.

1991	Susan (Parker) Taylor suzptaylor@hotmail.com	I stumbled across this site by complete accident, but am so glad I did. I often wonder what happened to everyone! I have been living in Cleveland for 10 years. I married (Robert) in 2002, graduated from law school in 2004 and had my son, Ethan, in 2006. I currently work as a tax attorney at a law firm in the western suburbs. I haven't danced in a while, but have often contemplated contacting the local all-girls high school to see if they have a team and are in need of assistance. Right now I have my hands pretty full. I'm pleased to see how much the Highlighters have developed over the years and I think the addition of the younger teams is a fabulous idea.

1991	DeAnna (Friedrich) Whalen deanna.l.whalen@gsk.com	So I have to keep updating my profile as things change. I married an amazing man in April 2006 and we are expecting our first baby in March. I am still in Pittsburgh working in Marketing at GlaxoSmithKline on the Os-Cal Brand. I have tried to stay close to the Dance Team Scoop. This will be my first year not attending Nationals with Theresa and it is a real bummer but at 33wks pregnant I opted to stay home and watch online!!! Good luck everyone in 2008 and look forward to seeing you at the reunion in March.

1991	Angie (Rudemiller) Heisel	Hello dancers! This page is great and I can't wait to see everyone at the reunion. After high school I kept on dancing. I taught and danced for the Anneliese von Ottengen School of Ballet and also ran the after school dance program at C.O. Harrison for many years. I also got my degree as an elementary school teacher, got married in 1997 and have since had 4 children: David (now 10), Maria (9), Hannah (7) and Nicholas (5). I haven't danced in a few years, but am back in the classroom teaching 8th grade math at St. Antoninus and LOVE it! Good luck Highlighters!!

1988	Michelle (McDonald) Edwards affamatostudios@hotmail.com	Life has been quite busy since graduation. First I went to UC for two years in DAAP in Architecture. I decided Arhitecture was just not my passion so I went on to receive my bachelors degree in Psychology from Wright State University in 1993. In 1992 I was able to take a travel quarter with my architecture friends from DAAP. We traveled through Europe for three months. It was a blast! I highly advise anyone who has the opportunity to DO IT!!! I received my degree in Photography in 1998. Presently I own my own Photography Business. I have finally found a way to make money and enjoy it!!! I have a wonderful husband named Chad and three children, Briana-12, Jesse-8, and Christian-16 months old. I am blessed to be able to homeschool my children and my daughter is presently on the Junior Highlighters. I also enjoy being the Highlighter's photographer each year. I guess once you are involved with Seton Highlighters you never want to leave. :)

1987	Angie Hamm angela_hamm@hotmail.com	Well, I have left the dancing for the memories of high school. After graduating from Seton, I attended the University of Cincinnati for 2 years before moving to Denver, Colorado to finish my marketing degree in 1990. I currently live in Colorado after a short stay in Chicago in 2000-2001 for a district manager position in retail. I am currently engaged. His name is Schilacci. We have been together for 6 years, have a home right outside of Denver and spend a lot of time traveling, finding great wine and spending time with friends. Our last trip was to Paris, France and this year will take us to Italy and Morocco! No children yet but we'll see what's in store. Glad to see the website and congratulations to the team for having a great season. Thanks Tracey for the info!!!!!! Hi Teresa!!!!!!

1987	Theresa Chiodi tchiodi@wbk.com	I have been coaching dance for Seton for 15 years now. I started in 1992 with the Junior High team and am now starting my 4th year with the Varsity team and I love coaching more now than ever. For my day job, I work for WBK Marketing & Design as a Graphic Designer. I am also a partner in an Internet Development Company that I own with my husband, Tim Burke (check it out at www.electronicart.com). Tim and I have been married now for almost 15 years.

1986	Jennifer (Prouty) McLean jmclean1@cinci.rr.com	WOW! A Highlighter alumnae page! I couldn't believe my eyes.I've lived in Fairfield Township for 11 years now. Dennis and I have been married almost 12 years, we have three great kids, ages 10, 8 and 5 at St.Julie's in Hamilton. I'm a stay at home mom, desperately trying to get either of my 2 girls involved in dance so I can relieve the glory days through them but, so far, no takers. They're into soccer and volleyball. They didn't get it from me! Keep in touch!

1986	Tracey (Becker) Burgoon tlburgoon@fuse.net	Congratulations on another great year Highlighters and I look forward to having our reunion in the fall. A little update, Sean is graduating from Elder and will go to Thomas More to run CC in the fall. Maddie is in the7th grade and loving theater work and dancing a Miracle. John and I will be married for 20 years. I’m still teaching dance at Miracle, still judging for Showcase and still a Girl Scout Leader. I love hearing from everyone so keep in touch.

1984	Linda (Laib) Wink lwink@fuse.net	I have been married to my husband Eric for 15 years now. We have two daughters, Rachel, who is in going in the 6th grade at Our Lady of Victory. This is her 3rd year on the mini team and loving it. Our youngest, Dana is going into the 3rd grade at OLV and is taking the twinkle class for a second year. We are expecting our 3rd child in Aug.(not planned). They tell us it is a boy, so no dancing for Seton with this one. I am a stay at home mom and very active with the girls.

1984	Gwen (Wendy) (Schratt) Bender gbender@cinci.rr.com	I can't believe how far this team has come! I've seen the team perform a few times, and I'm always so impressed. No future highlighters here, as my 12 and 10 yr old boys prefer baseball, but who knows with four nieces eventually headed to Seton! I'm married, for 13 years and have been a prosecutor for the last 15 years. Looking forward to a reunion in the future.

1982	Lisa (Comarata) Sammons dsammons@fuse.net	Hello Everyone! It's great to read about everyone since they've graduated from Seton. Talk about feeling really old, it's scary to see that some of the girls I coached are having babies and some even have highlighters. After graduating and coaching the dance team for 6 years, I took a break. Only to get back involved 8 years ago when my oldest daughter Lindsay made the first mini team. Then came my second daughter Emily a year behind her. Fortunately, I had a son, Doug next and he chose sports over dance. Well it's my last year with the dance team, and I am amazed at how far we've come. GoGo boots to jazz shoes, 3 lb. poms to poms as light as feathers. I wish the teams to come continued success! Maybe I'll be back in another 8 years with grandchildren.

1980	Joenett (Catanzaro) Watkins joenettwatkins@fuse.net	Being a Highlighter is one of my fondest memories of Seton. We have come a long way over the past 25 years. I currently have a college freshman , and Elder Freshman, a 7th, 6th and kindergartenger.I look forward to my daughters dancing with the Highlighters.

1980	Cathy (Meyer) McDonald jasmcdonald@fuse.net	What a difference 25 years make! The dance team has come a long way!This year, I have the pleasure of watching my youngest daughter Maria, dance on the junior team for Seton. Along with Maria, I have a daughter at ONU and 2 sons at Elder. After teaching several years at Resurrection School, I am currently woring at the College of Mount St. Joseph. Keep on dancing Highlighters! You are the pride of Seton!
