___________________________

Still a good bit of swimming to go, but it’s been a great day so far for the swim program.

We’re missing four swimmers, so we’re even more excited about these numbers as it shows that several swimmers are stepping up to the plate to fill in the gaps.

Back at it. Men’s 200 Relay with Elijah Willis off the blocks in lane three.

Second half of the meet is backstroke and breaststroke. Wyatt Ogle in lane two for a second place with a new PR.

Another Update…

Home stretch

.We’re down to the last event and the boys are within 2 points of winning the meet. It all comes down to the 400 Free Relay featuring Ogle, Edwards, Richardson, and Dalton.

EXCITING !!!!

Look what we did, Look what we did !

Carroll County wins the meet in the final event!

Enjoy the Moment !

βž•

Camden DeHaven’s defeat of the Virginia High swimmer in breaststroke set up the relay team to be within two points. The men ended up with a decisive win. All swimmers went sub-minute for a 3:52.44.

Safe Travels back up the Highway !

Cavs finished 4th overall while competing without four swimmers.

Galax Girls win , Cavs finish 10th

If Katelyn and Maggie Manning had been able to swim, we most likely would have been 3rd overall.
