COLUMBIA, SC - With the arrival of October it also signifies the beginning of state championship season for fall sports and this past Saturday the Boiling Springs swim team became the first team to compete in a state championship this season at the Blatt Center on the campus of the University of South Carolina.
The Bulldogs had ten people travel to the state meet on Saturday, eight swimmers and two alternates where they put up some of the team's best times of the year. "The swimmers had a great day and left with some best times," said Bulldogs head coach Lanie Peden. "It's an extremely competitive meet that the Bulldogs rose to the challenge." Boiling Springs saw Laney Moore compete in the girls' 200y individual medley and the 100y backstroke where she hit best times in both events with a time of 2:19.95 in the individual medley and a time of 1:03.97 in the backstroke. Morgan Greenlee also competed in the 200y freestyle and the 100y butterfly events on Saturday.

"Will was brand new to the sport this year," said Peden. "So, him making the state meet his first year was pretty awesome."
