A New Titans Baby!

Congratulations to Titans Men’s Head Coach Jerry Tesanovic and his wife Sue, on the birth of their first child, Noah Milutin Clement Tesanovic.  

The Great White Sharks are especially happy to welcome the newest member of their team!  Noah arrived April 21, 2009, weighing in at 2.9 kg (6.4 lb) and he is 51 cm (20 inches) long.  Mother and baby are doing well while Papa Jerry has recently discovered what sleep deprivation really means.  Jerry says: "The little one is keeping us busy, but to be honest I don't mind a bit".  The Great White Sharks are happy that Jerry has finally devoted himself to ensuring the next generation of Titans are ready.  We send the new family our very best wishes and look forward to seeing Noah in the water in a few years!
