1. A Meet Results!
It was a nail-biter! The Country Club Hills Sharks have had a great season, defeating every opponent they met, but our Dolphins came so close to unseating them. We gave them the closest meet of their season—final score: Sharks 212, Dolphins 208. The Dolphins also came away 56 seconds faster as a team, surpassing their goal of dropping 23 minutes before the season has even ended! Two swimmers bettered their team records at the meet as well:
- Matthew swam the 15-18 50m Backstroke in 27.75 dropping another 6 tenths off his 28.41 record from July 8th of this season!
- Moses Wolf cut more than a second from his 9-10 50m breaststroke coming in at 41.39 to break his record of 42.60 set on June 22nd this year.
