“I had a blast with all my friends at the state swim meet and saw what I needed to improve on for next year.” – Alex Moore
“We all improved in the short week from South State to State, and not only did our relays perform great as a team, but every one of us swam as hard as we could for our senior. I’m really excited to see what we do next year for my final season and can’t wait to see how many medals we bring home.” – Clayton Stoddard
“I am very proud of both the boys and the girls teams. For the boys, it shows how training hard can really pay off and how dedication to a sport can go a long way. For the girls, even though we are a very small team, we came out in fourth place, which is something I am super proud of. This again shows what training can do for not just an individual, but also for a team. State was a new experience for a lot of the newer swimmers. I think with them seeing how much excitement there is, they definitely want to come back next year.” – Annie Torp
