On Saturday the Boiling Springs girls swim team had a very strong showing as they finished in thirteenth out of twenty-eight teams with only seven swimmers at the state swim meet held at the North Charleston Aquatic Center.
"It was a sweet end to high school swimming for our five seniors," said Bulldogs head coach Lanie Peden. "They came together as a team and really swam their hearts out." Katelyn Mazurowski led the way for the Bulldogs as she was the team's top scorer finishing seventh in the 100y butterfly and twelfth place in the 100y backstroke. Molly Verdell had a great meet as well breaking a fourteen year old school record in the 50y freestyle event with a time of 26.06. It wasn't the only school record Verdell was a part of on Saturday as she was also a part of two of the three relay teams to set school records on Saturday. The medley relay team (Verdell, Mazurowski, Lauren Agnew, and Makenzy Carothers) and the 200y freestyle event team (Verdell, Mazurowski, Carothers, and Grace Sharp) set school records on Saturday along with the 400y freestyle event team (Mary Lauren Reese, Morgan Greenlee, Mackenzie Carothers, and Lauren Agnew). "To improve in this sport swimmers have to train hard all year, stay focused, be patient, and know if their hearts they have what it takes," said Peden. "These girls have bought into that mentality and it's awesome to see them grow as athletes and young ladies that represent their community in a great way. God has given them a gift and it's a blessing to watch how they use it to make a difference in those around them." While this meet ends the season for the Boiling Springs girls swim team, members of the boys swim team will be competing at the state meet on Monday in North Charleston. Comments are closed.
