Sarah Rasmussen, head coach of the RamDogs, the Deering/Portland co-op girls swim team, has been named 2025 Varsity Maine All-State Girls Swimming Coach of the Year! This March 25 story says: “The RamDogs may not have won a single event at the Class A championships, but Rasmussen led the Deering/Portland girls swim team to its second straight state title. No diver competed, and only two swimmers placed higher than third in individual events, but the RamDogs’ depth proved to be key. They scored four swimmers in three events (100 breast, 200 free, 200 IM) and all three relay teams finished in the top five to help Deering/Portland win the state championship by a larger margin than last year (29 points to six).”
