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!!

For the 4th year in a row we were able to bring home the combined win, as well as the boys and girls winning teams. Boyle showed up and got it done. Moving forward to semi-state with my teammates beside me is a surreal feeling. Regardless of how semi-state goes I have a team that has supported through and through and I know that me and my teammates have done all we can to prepare. “

Both the boys and girls have advanced to semi-state which will be this Friday and Saturday at the University of Louisville.
