The MPHS Swim team started off the season with their first swim meet on December 6. This meet gave new swimmers and returning swimmers a chance to warm up to the new season. When the next meet on December 13th rolled around, everyone was revved up and ready to swim against George Mason and Central High Schools. Although it was 8:30 on a Saturday night, our swimmers swam hard, several team records were broken, and new personal bests were made.
Congratulations to:
Kailey Carlson for beating the record in the 50 Freestyle
and Kira Wence for beating the record in the 100 Breastroke.
Congratulations to:
Rebecca Moreno, Kira Wence, Kailey Carlson, and Gabriela Moreno for the 200 Medley Relay as well as
to Keona May, Jessie Smith, Gabriela Moreno, and Kailey Carlson for the 400 Freestyle Relay.
The Cougars put up a good fight and started off the season with a bang!
As the team shirts say,
“The force of buoyancy keeps you up, gravity pushes you down. The force of motivation pushes you forward,” is the true creed of our swimmers this year.
