• This past Saturday the swim teams took part in the district swim meets where they were looking to qualify for this week's state championships.  Though nearly every race resulted in a season-best swim the team fell just short of qualifying anyone to the state meet. The boys 200 Free Relay of Ben Crowder, Blake Madden, Rhyan Meyers, and John Anzano finished in 7th place at the district meet, which ranked them 26th in the state but unfortunately only 24 relay teams make the state championship.  Ben Crowder also nearly qualified in the 100 Free as he swam a time that was the second-fastest in school history, but it left him just .27 seconds off qualifying for the state meet. On the girls’ side, Mercy Patterson had a nice meet as she posted two season-best times in the 100 Fly and 100 Back, which allowed her to finish 11th and 17th in the district, respectively.  Overall, of the 44 boys teams in the district the boys team finished in 12th place and of the 50 girls teams in the district the girls team finished in 22nd place. So at this point, just Sam Hool remains in action for the swim and dive teams. He will be competing at the state diving championships this upcoming Saturday in Canton, OH. Congratulations to all swim and dive team members on another excellent season and good luck to Sam this weekend!
