SW Meet: Rewrite

Seniors’ Last home Meet

By: Izzy Gnagy

January 28, 2017 was the last at home swim meet for those seniors on the Madison Blue Streaks Swim Team. The last meet was at home against Geneva and North.
For the girls swim team it was a good last meet. Before the competition, members like Chloe Beach said that North is tough competition but she believed that they’d beat Geneva.
Coach Artz believed that the girls would win against both North and Geneva. For their last and final meet as a Blue Streak Swimmer, the senior girls’ put their hearts and souls into every event to take a win.
The swim meet, as always, went by in a watery and exciting flash. The girls took a win against north with the final scoring coming out as 84-47. The girls also won against Geneva with 90-64 as the final score.
As a swimmer most of the time swimming doesn’t have big rivalries. Swimming is more of a personal challenge no matter how many people you’re up against. Most of the time when you look up to the scoreboard you’re looking at your time. Did I gain time? Did I lose time? Did I beat my PR? How much time did i gain or lose? Even though swim is mostly an individual sport, your team is always there with you.
This last home meet for the senior girls is one they will hopefully remember for a long time. These girls have built a family within the four years they have swam for Madison. Good luck to all the senior girls on the swim team on their adventure into their future. Once a Madison Blue Streak, always a Madison Blue Streak.
