According to coach Agustin Merodio, “Our girls are quite strong this year. We are extremely competitive because of the sheer number of swimmers in the water. We are able to compete in all events and earn a substantial number of points.”

The boys team competed against the much larger squad from Tech High School but was still able to score some first place victories.

Nick Dobusch in the 200 Freestyle, Max Madrzyk in the 100 Freestyle and Charlie Adams in the 200 Individual Medley and the 100 Backstroke all finished in first place.

Merodio said, “This speaks to the dedication of year-round swimmers. These boys have practiced hard all year-round and their work ethic is paying off. They swam against other year-round swimmers from a much larger team and were still able to swim to personal victories.”
