CO-ED SWIM
OCTOBER 16th: Horizon's swim team had a fun invitational meet this past Saturday with a Saturday Night Fever 70's theme. Heat winners were awarded a fun little prize too. Several of our swimmers dropped time as they raced toward qualifying for state. James and Allister dropped 2 tenths of a second in the 100 Breaststroke. Dropping 2 full seconds in the 100 Freestyle were Makena and James, Garret earned a personal best of 55.52 in the 100 Freestyle. Dropping time in the 50 Freestyle is a challenge, however, Ellie, Ella, Santiago and Kennah were able to accomplish that goal. Several swimmers tried a new event to race at the meet. Alex swam the 100 Backstroke and the 100 Breaststroke, Wrenn swam the 100 Butterfly and Jessica demonstrated her skills in the 100 Backstroke.
The last invitational is October 26th and is the last chance to qualify for our State Meet on Nov. 5th Come cheer our swimmers on. The meet starts at 4:30 @ Phoenix Country Day School.
