The boys won the Three Rivers Conference Swimming and Diving meet today. It was such an amazing day from start to finish. The boys had 34 out of 38 possible best times or scores. This makes the 10th consecutive conference title. I could give the Golden Goggle Award to all of them. Each one did his part for the team. I gave the Golden Goggle to Garrett McManus, Colton Beebe, Drake Samuel, and Aiden Ousley. Garrett had 3/4 best times and he won all four of his events. He dropped 1 sec in 200 Free and 4 in the 500. Colton has fought sickness for the last month and spent a day in bed this week. I am so proud of how he pushed through today. He dropped 2 sec in 200 IM and 5 seconds in 100 Breaststoke to place 2nd. Drake was 4/4 bests. He dropped 1 sec in 200 and an amazing 13 seconds in the 500 Free. Aiden swam out of his mind today. He was 4/4 bests. He dropped 8 seconds in the IM placing 2nd, dropped 1.5 sec in 50 back split, 2 sec in 100 Free split, and dropped 3 sec in the 100 backstroke to pull out the win. Other great performances: Luke Abbott dropped 3 sec in 200 IM and .3 in 100 Fly, P.J. Higgins dropped 3.5 in 200 Free and 24 sec in 500 Free. Ryley Rodkey dropped 1.2 in 50 Fly split, .7 in 50 Free, and 2.3 in 100 Free and won when he was seeded 3rd. Daylen Schrock had 2 bests in the 50 free and 100 Breast. Camron Metcalf won diving improving his score by 13 points and Kade Nye was 2nd in diving in his first ever 11 dive meet. Zach Duke was 4/4 bests. He dropped over a second in 50 Free and 2.2 in 100 Free and was part of the winning 200 Medley Relay and 400 Free Relay. Ethan Lee had a best in the 100 Backstroke. Joel Loshnowsky was also sick this week. He dropped 4 seconds in the 100 Free and 1 sec in 100 Back. I am so proud of the work these guys have put into this season and the determination to get the win today. On paper, according to seed times, we were supposed to win the meet by 8 points. I told them this week how close it was and that they all had to bring it. They ended up winning by 63. They won all three relays which doesn't happen very often and won 6 individual events. Several of the boys placed much higher than their seed times had them. Full results are attached.
