Yesterday, we had our final dual meet of the season against Blair. Athletes had a great time seeing friends and competing in mixed relays! We saw 16 season best times.

This week we want to shout out our 4 (!!!) swimmers who competed in the 500 Freestyle yesterday. Solena, Madga and Nathalie swam their first ever 500 Free race, receiving times of 9:06.77, 9:42.90 and 9:16.26 respectively. Porter qualified for METROS, beating the cut time by 3 seconds with a time of 5:16.03. Great job 500 swimmers!
