Coming off just one day of rest the Boiling Springs swim team was able to accomplish something that doesn't happen very often as they came away with an overall victory over their former region mates Dorman in a swim meet. The Bulldogs defeated the Cavaliers 169-163 while both teams fell to Riverside on Saturday.
"We had a lot of kids racing their across town friends which makes it enjoyable for them and it's sweet for the seniors to claim a combined score victory over Dorman their senior year," said Bulldogs head coach Lanie Peden. "In the tri-meet, Riverside was victorious across the board as they have a great history of excellence in South Carolina swimming with extremely talented athletes." Boiling Springs got strong performances from their girls team as the medley team along with seniors Molly Verdell and Katelyn Mazurowski had nice performances in their individual events on Saturday. "The girls looked especially great in the medley relay today," said Peden. "Senior Molly Verdell had a great meet in the 50y and 100y freestyles while senior Katelyn Mazurowski was excellent in the 100y fly and 100y backstroke events." The men's team had some strong performances as well with the 200y medley relay team edging out Dorman with a two one-thousandths of a second victory in that event. Will Humphreys came away with a victory in the 100y freestyle event and the 100y backstroke while Ashton Threadgill was victorious in the 100y breaststroke with a time of 1:04.58. "Our guys raced hard and came up a little short against Dorman with a few technical errors," said Peden. "Will Humphreys and Ashton Threadgill gave us some fun racing to watch today." The Bulldogs will host their final regular season meet on Thursday against Emerald and Cambridge at the Middle Tyger YMCA where they will honor their seniors. After Thursday the Bulldogs next competition will be October 3rd in Fort Mill for the region meet and then the state championships on October 10th and 12th at the North Charleston Aquatics Center.
