In the classroom, Jenny has earned the Presidential Scholar's Award, been on the principal's honor roll, is the vice president of the science club, and is a member of the math and key club. Lewis plans on majoring in sports medicine at Pacific next fall.

Morgan is currently a senior at Gonzaga Preparatory School in Spokane, Washington. In her club swimming career, she holds numerous records. She has attended the U.S. Open in 2002 and 2003, placing 10th and 16th overall in 400 IM. Morgan has also attended the YMCA Nationals every year since 2001, placing in the top 16 in all individual events each year. Morgan has also excelled in the classroom, earning the President's Education Award for Outstanding Academic Excellence in 2002 and 2003 as well as being awarded the U.S. Army Reserve National Scholar-Athlete Award in 2004.
