Swimmers advance to finals in North Zone TISCA meet
The fall swim season just ended with the North Zone TISCA meet Nov. 15-17 where many swimmers placed in their heat and advanced to finals.
“I’m very proud of myself and my team because of all of the hard work we put in,” junior Ian Frey said.
Frey placed second in the 200 freestyle relay and advanced to the “B” finals for 50 freestyle and 50 relay.
At the meet, the eight fastest times move on to “A” finals, the next eight fastest move on to “B” finals, and the next eight fastest move on to “C” finals.
“This team is a great group of kids willing to push each other and challenge themselves on a daily basis,” coach Johnny Foss said. “Continued hard work should allow them a chance at achieving the aggressive goals they set at the beginning of the year.”
