On Saturday, January 26th the Boys Swim team will be traveling to the East End YMCA to face Eastlake North High school. The boys will have a home pool advantage against North. Last year the boys swim team only lost by ten points to North, the score was 120-110.
This match is very important to the boys because it’s a rivalry as well as a Conference Meet, and they want to be able to pull out another Conference win. The coaches for the boys are Thomas Hill and Aja Redek, they think the keys to victory for the team are to have good fast turn overs, long strokes, and tight streamlines to pull for the win.The expectations that the boys and coaches are hoping for, is to have a close meet or win it all. Thomas and Aja said the boys have been working really hard this year and are very proud with their performances in the water.
The first team leader of the boys team is Owen Hennessey. Owen is the fastest swim sprinter on the team, he swims the 50 and 100 freestyle. Owen won two conference races last week being in first place for the boys. Owen’s thoughts for the next meet are to have a lot of Pr’s, he also says that they most likely will not win but it isn’t out of their reach, it will definitely be a challenge for them.
The second team leader for the boys is Collin Douglas. He holds the school record for the 200 individual medley, and can swim any event well. However, he specializes in the 200 IM, 200 Freestyle, the 100 Butterfly, and the 100 Backstroke. His insights for the team and himself are that the boys have had a really good season so far, and he found out that he can push himself further than he previously could. Both Owen and Collin think the they can bring home a victory and break many personal records.
