“We finished exactly how I thought we would, ” Crow said. “We gained some depth this year.”

Last year, the girls Swim team placed seventh, and this season their goal was to rank even higher. To prepare for GAC’s, some aspects of practice were altered and changed in order to prepare for the big event.

“Last year our practices were mostly freestyle, but this year our practices were balanced equally with every stroke,” senior Danielle Meyer said. “We focused a lot more on technique too, instead of just swimming as fast as we can.”

Although none of the girl swimmers qualified for the State competition, the team was happy they had improved. Many of the girls ended their season proud of the things they accomplished.

“I am glad I placed fifth in the 400 free relay,” senior Amanda Iborg said. “I tried my best, and I’m happy I got as high of a rank as I did.”
