Region

     On October 1, the girls swim team won region with a score of 148 points, which was especially impressive because only the top ten score out of the entire meet. Looking ahead to the State meet, the girls have a really good shot at winning, even against our biggest competition, Mead Hall.

     

 

 

 

     We also had senior recognition on October 1, recognizing eight swimmers: Maddie Becker, swimming for 5 years; Camrynn Wilson, swimming for 7 years; Vivian Gilman, swimming for 7 years; Azra Erbatu, swimming for 2 years; Sam Gaines-Philliphs, swimming for 7 years; Drew Summers, swimming for 7 years; Finch Webster, swimming for 2 years; and Chapman Atkins, swimming for 2 years.

     The swim team will miss each and every one of you, and I want to thank you guys for being a part of the team!

 

“As a team we work towards one final goal all season—winning state. This accomplishment takes a lot of hard work and effort which both the girls and boys teams excelled in through the entire season. I am so grateful to have been able to spend my last year on the SDS swim team with our amazing coaches and our amazing swimmers. Go Griffins!”
