Kate Hoffman described the end to her season by saying, “Individually I was a little disappointed with the times I swam in my individual races. As a team though, we swam awesome! The girls placed higher than I have ever seen, as well as the boys. Next year I hope we can continue to improve our times in the relay and move up spots in the state. Individually, I would like to go a faster time in the 100 fly.”
It was a great end to the season for both the Swim & Dive team! The Rebels will be back next winter for an even better season!!
