Congratulations to the following swimmers who were Conference Champions in their individual events;

Bailey Young                              25  Breast, 25 Fly
Jared Vander woude           50 & 200 Free,   100 Back, 25 Fly

I was very pleased with the way we swam at Conference. 55% of our swims were all time bests.  That is a great accomplishment.
As I stated in the opening paragraph, Portage, Michigan City and Union Township were all very close to us at the conclusion of the meet.  Therefore, if we want to keep our streak of 3rd place finishes going,  we will have to work even harder next season.  There is no doubt in my mind that you guys are capable of rising to that challenge.  Enjoy the summer and be ready to work hard in September.
