The end of the season is approaching. They believe they have improved from last year, but still have more work to do. Now is their chance to compete against not only one school but twelve. Not a regular meet,
but a meet that decides who attends state and who watches as a spectator. From Feb. 10-12, GACs will be held at the St. Peters Rec-Plex for the girl’s swim team. After a successful season, the team hopes to acquire many personal records, both for team and individual events.
“I would like for us to place in the top six,” Varsity coach Chip Crow said. “It’s a realistic goal for the girls as a team.
Because nearly twelve schools attend GACs, the competition will be larger than what they have grown used to. Still, the team is focusing
on personal bests, rather than beating other teams at an event.
“I’m trying to improve my personal times that I already have for State,” senior Lauren Thrasher said. “We’re hoping to place higher than last year because we have a bigger team.”
With GACs consisting of preliminaries, diving, and the top sixteen finalists, the girls are hoping to improve individual swim times while helping out the team.
“We’re just hoping to make it through all together in one piece as a team with something worthwhile,” freshman Abbey Grone said.
