Assistant Coach, Lauren McMaster
Lauren McMaster is joining Willow Fork as a coach for her second year, after three years of volunteering, but has been a Gator every summer since she was four years old! In fact, her family was a part of the original Willow Fork Gators!
Lauren is a sophomore chemical engineering major at Texas A&M and a member of the Water Polo team. She was a member of the National Honor Society and the varsity Diving team at Taylor High School. She is one part of triplets, and you will see her and her brothers around the pool all summer as they are also the Willow Fork lifeguards! Lauren is a true gator in every sense of the word, and we're very lucky to have her!
