Tim Hanway, News Journal Athlete of the Week 3/6/2
Thanks Doc Joe and Taylor!
March is National Athletic Training Month, and we want to show our gratitude to one of the hardest working athletic trainers out there, Doc Joe. Along with Taylor Duncan and our outstanding assistants from the University of Delaware, they work tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our athletes safe, healthy, and performing at their best. From early morning treatments to late-night rehab sessions and game coverage, their commitment to our student-athletes never wavers. Doc Joe is celebrating 29 years working with Salesianum Athletics and Taylor has worked with our boys for sixteen years.
They are often the first to arrive and the last to leave, bringing expertise, calm leadership, and genuine care to everything they do. The countless hours they dedicate—many of which go unseen—make a tremendous impact on our programs. Thank you for the long days, the late nights, and your unwavering dedication. You are simply the best!
Swim State Title and Wrestling Individual Titles
The swim team secured their 10th straight team title and 42nd overall. Despite being one of the program’s youngest teams in recent years, this group showcased impressive depth, with 16 athletes scoring in individual events—only three of them seniors.

Hanway, Woolpert, Hess, and Ian Chan later claimed victory in the 400 free relay.

Congratulations to Chip Hannig ’72 on his 300th career win! We proudly recognize alum, longtime head swim coach, and Salesianum Alumni Hall of Fame member Arthur “Chip” Hannig ’72 on reaching this remarkable milestone—a true testament to sustained excellence and leadership.
Since the 2000–2001 season, Coach Hannig has guided our swim program to unprecedented success. Over his 25-year tenure, he has compiled an extraordinary 301–39 dual-meet record and led the Sals to 23 Delaware state championships, establishing one of the most dominant programs in the state. Along the way, he has earned multiple Coach of the Year honors and the Tubby Raymond Award for outstanding leadership and achievement.
Beyond the wins and accolades, Coach Hannig’s legacy is defined by his unwavering commitment to forming young men—developing student-athletes who excel both in and out of the pool.
