Big Wins at TISCA!

The swimmers all did amazing, especially after qualifying so many for finals, and then everyone improved on Prelim times to have tons of incredible times during finals. The boys team was in 3rd place the whole meet, and behind by 76 points going into the last 400 free relay, but we realized the team in the lead didn’t have any relays in the event, and we had 2 boys relays in the top final heat; it would take winning to win the meet. Greg Raper, Bobby Johnson, Brandon Lemens, and Lance Butler crushed the competition, dropped 4 seconds to win the race, the B relay placed 8th, and they scored 78 points to win the meet by 2 points. All the swimmers scored points for the team !
