SWIMMING:
Last week, the swim team competed in the Southwest Ohio Classic. This meet included nearly 3000 swimmers and was run across 9 preliminary sites. Despite a long weekend, the team pulled some best times and swam extremely well against both DI and DII teams. Owen Conley, Audrey Conley, Devyn Olson, and the girls 200 free relay including Audrey, Devyn, Jordan Patterson, and Anicca Sivsov all qualified to finals. Audrey Conley out-swam all the competition in the 500 free and secured the Classic title.
Beyond the swimming, three Waynesville swim seniors received the Classic scholarship award. This award is given to 6 swimmers total. Nathan Eshler, William Kelley, and Anna Parry were selected for this honor and made up half of the winners.
The Spartans home invitational and senior recognition is Saturday, January 25th at Wright State University. It starts at noon. Please join us in celebrating our seniors and cheering on our team!
