SPARTANBURG, SC - In their final meet before the Region II-5A meet, the Boiling Springs swim team came away with victories over Oakbrook, Walhalla, and Seneca with their only loss coming to region foe Dorman at Converse University.
In the combined standings the Bulldogs finished second to only Dorman and the girls team came in second as well in their standings while the boys were just edged out by Seneca in their standings. "We did pretty good as we came away with a second place in the overall combined," said Bulldogs head coach Lanie Peden. "Our girls team fought hard and pulled out a win against everyone but Dorman. We made some mistakes that can be corrected, and we will continue to work hard to get ready for the region championship in a few weeks." The girls got the meet going with a victory in the 200y medley relay as the Boiling Springs team (Laney Moore, Reagan Shaw, Morgan Greenlee, and Camryn Duncan) won with a time of 2:02.71, which was six seconds better than second place. They also added a second-place finish in the 400y freestyle relay. Morgan Greenlee added her second win of the meet just a short time later when she won the 200y freestyle with a time of 2:06.47, narrowly defeating Dorman's Lyndsey Nielsen to the wall by just over two tenths of a second. She added a second-place finish in the 100y butterfly, finishing less than three-tenths behind the winner, Allie Parker of Dorman. Laney Moore added her second victory of the night in the 200y individual medley with a time of 2:23.65, which was almost four seconds ahead of the second-place swimmer. Camryn Duncan added a second-place finish in the 100y freestyle event with a time 1:03.87. On the boy's side of the event the Boiling Springs relay team (Miles Humphreys, Ashton Threadgill, Garrett Watson, and Zachary Nanoua) finished with second place finishes in both the 200y medley relay and the 400y freestyle relay. Garrett Watson gave the Bulldogs a victory in the 500y freestyle with a time of 5:01.11, which was fourteen seconds ahead of the second-place swimmer. He also grabbed a victory in the 100y backstroke with a time of 59.92, which was three seconds ahead of second place. Miles Humphreys added another victory for the Boiling Springs boys' team winning the 100y breaststroke with a time 1:08.34, which was over four seconds ahead of second place. Boiling Springs will now turn their focus to the region championship in two weeks as the Bulldogs will have an intersquad scrimmage between now and then. "It's a quick season so we have to make some adjustments and move forward," said Peden. "We have somewhat of an off-week next week with only an intersquad meet between now and the region meet." The region meet for the Bulldogs is scheduled to take place on October 1st at Converse College at 3:00 PM. Comments are closed.
