Lyla Perry
A 2026 graduate of Beaverton High School, Lyla will continue her academic and athletic journey by attending Lane Community College, playing collegiate soccer, and also taking classes through the University of Oregon.
Lyla has demonstrated excellence both in the classroom and on the field, earning recognition as the #1 goalie in both all-state and all-metro honors while serving as captain of her soccer team. 
At the Club, Lyla works in childcare, where she has developed patience, empathy, and meaningful connections with children. Inspired by these experiences, she hopes to pursue a career as a child therapist, helping young people navigate their emotional and mental well-being.
Nat Ross
Nat is a 2026 graduate of Portland State University and will be continuing their academic journey by pursuing a Master of Urban and Regional Planning.
Throughout their undergraduate experience, Nat has demonstrated exceptional dedication to both academic growth and community service—balancing a rigorous course load while working nearly full-time in the Aquatics department and actively volunteering with organizations such as Blanchet House. 
Professionally, Nat has built extensive experience in aquatics, including roles as a lifeguard, swim instructor, aquatics coordinator, and most recently as a Red Cross Lifeguard Instructor. In this role, Nat has not only helped others gain lifesaving CPR and first aid skills, but has also strengthened their own leadership, communication, and teaching abilities.
