The SHS co-ed swim team has come into the season wanting to perform and swim their best. Some swimmers are excited, and ready to perform and push themselves.

The coach even has high hopes for the girls part of the team.

“The girls just placed second of 9 teams at the Charlestown invite,” Coach Brandon Jerrell said. “It is looking like they will have a phenomenal season. We might even have a shot at finishing 2nd in Mid-Southern Conference this year.”

The swimmers are also hopeful and prepared for the upcoming season.

“I think as a team we will have a really strong season, one of our best for sure,” Megan Hardin (12) said. “For me personally I’m looking forward to conference. As a team, we are looking forward to seeing how much we will improve and get better with each meet.”

The SHS swim team is ready to give the Mid-Southern Conference their all and are very hopeful in placing decently.

“My season is going great so far,” Makayla Barger (11) said. “I think I will perform well this year. I have been pushing myself and my times are good. Our team should be on track to do great things and we are pushing ourselves to perform our best.”
