The Boiling Springs swim team traveled to Greenville on Thursday as they came away with a strong second place finish defeating Hillcrest, TL Hanna, and Fountain Inn with the host team Mauldin being the only team to defeat the Bulldogs. "The team fought through some tough outdoor pool conditions to beat three out of four teams," said Bulldogs head coach Lanie Peden. "The kids are working very hard and I look forward to seeing how we finish up with the rest of the season." The Boiling Springs boy's 200m medley relay team (Will Humphreys, Ashton Threadgill, Garrett Watson, and Miles Humphreys) came with a victory to start the meet finishing in a time of 1:58.53 which was three seconds ahead of second place Mauldin. Ashton Threadgill picked up two more victories for the Bulldogs on Thursday as he came away with a victory in the 200m freestyle with a time of 2:06.94, four seconds ahead of second place, and won the 100m breaststroke with a time of 1:14.41 which was over six seconds ahead of second place. The Bulldogs Garrett Watson also picked up two more victories on Thursday as he grabbed a victory in the boys 200m individual medley with a time of 2:29.98 and a victory in the boys 100m butterfly with a time of 1:06.92 which was almost eight seconds ahead of second place. Will Humphreys grabbed his second victory of the meet in the boys 100m backstroke event with a time of 1:05.65 which was three seconds of the next closest swimmer, while being just narrowly defeated by Mauldin's Evan Otten in the boys 50m freestyle by less than three tenths of a second. Laney Moore came away with a second place finish for the Bulldogs in the girls 200m individual medley with a time of 2:48.76 and also grabbed a second place finish in the 100m breaststroke with a time of 1:28.56. Morgan Greenlee also came away with a third place finish for the Bulldogs in the girls 200m freestyle with a time of 2:26.34. Boiling Springs will return to the water next Tuesday in another out-of-region meet when they take on Dorman at Converse which Peden says the team is looking forward to getting to see another local team. "The meet against Dorman will be a fun one for the kids as they get to take on their cross town rivals," said Peden. Dixon Wins Medalist HonorsThe Boiling Springs golf team also competed on Thursday afternoon as they came away with a second place finish but saw their golfer win the individual honors at the Cherokee National Golf Course.
The Bulldogs' Madison Dixon won the medalist honors shooting a low score of 34, two shots ahead of the next closest golfer. While Dixon won the medalist honor on Thursday the Bulldogs shot a team score of 186 which was just eight shots behind the host school Gaffney while finishing twenty-three shots ahead of third place Landrum. Boiling Springs will return to action on Monday at the Jack Golf Tournament at the Cross Creek Golf Course in Pendleton before competing in the the Lady Eagle Golf Tournament at the Links at Stoney Point on Tuesday.
