OCONEE, SC - The Boiling Springs swim team went to their second straight Oconee Invitational on Saturday and came back with second place finishes for both the boy's and girl's teams as many swam their personal best times.
"We had an awesome Saturday at the Oconee Invite as the boys' and girls' teams both came away with second place finishes," said Bulldogs swim coach Lanie Peden. "The majority of the team swam personal bests in both individual and relay events." The Boiling Springs girls 200y medley relay team (Laney Moore, Reagan Shaw, Morgan Greenlee, and Camryn Duncan) started the event with a second-place finish for the Bulldogs with a time of 2:04.62, just over a second behind first place TL Hanna. The same team also picked up a victory in the 400y freestyle relay to close out the event with a time of 4:04.10, which was twelve seconds faster than the second-place team. Morgan Greenlee got the first victory on the girls' side of the meet for the Bulldogs with a win in the 100y butterfly with a time of 1:04.87, which was almost six seconds ahead of second place. Laney Moore grabbed a second-place finish in the 200y individual medley with a time of 2:24.21, just behind Chelsea Burkhart from Walhalla High School who finished first. She also added a second-place finish in the 100y breaststroke and was just a tenth of a second from being a victory in the event. The Boiling Springs boys 200y medley relay team (Garrett Watson, Miles Humphreys, Ashton Threadgill, and Zachary Nanoua) also kicked off the boys' section of the meet with a second-place finish with a time of 1:49.45 which was just over a second behind first place Greenville High School. Ashton Threadgill got a first place in the boys' 200y individual medley with a time of 2:05.33, which was almost five seconds ahead of second place. He also added a victory in the 100y breaststroke with a time of 1:03.21, almost four seconds ahead of second place. Garrett Watson added a first-place finish in the boys' 100y butterfly with a time of 56.89 just beating out Phelim Crowley from Seneca High School and also got a first-place finish in the 500y freestyle with a time 4:59.55. "I'm proud of the way the kids came in and raced hard," said Peden. "We enjoyed participating in this meet for a second year in a row as we get to see teams from other areas that we don't normally get to race during the year." The Bulldogs will be back in action on Tuesday night when they face Spartanburg at the TK Gregg Center at 6:00 PM. CROSS COUNTRY On Saturday the Boiling Springs cross country team also competed in the WNC Cross Country Carnival in Hendersonville, NC coming away with top ten finishes for both the boys' and girls' teams.
