On Saturday, February 16th, the Boys swimmers Owen Hennessey, Collin Douglas, Mark Hribar, and Dillon Miller all traveled to Cleveland State University to compete in the Districts Invitational. This meet was very important to the boys because it was the OHSAA Districts and they had to work really hard to get a spot in it. Last year they had a boys relay and two individual females go. Then this year they had a boys relay and girls relay with two boys and two girls qualifying individually as well.
The keys to victory that the boys and coaches focused on were finesse and fearlessness. They have been working their hardest at every practice to get to where they are today. They knew they had to work even harder to get to the Districts Invitational because it was a very important meet. At every meet they had to make sure they beat their Personal records or place on the board. Owen Hennessey was seeded 30th in the 50 Free and came out of the meet with a five place drop, making him 25th overall, he also placed 28th in the 100 free. Collin Douglas placed 13th 200 free and broke the school record in breast placing 22nd with a time of 1:04.
Everyone's hard work led to beating all of their personal records. Owen, Mark, Collin, and Dillon all had broke their personal records that day. The boys tried their hardest on placing, but they did come close to it. After every race the boys compete in coaches Tom Sill, Aja Redek, and Bill Boonsta always give the boys comments about their races and also tell them what they need to work or improve on.
