The Scottsburg High School swim team season is coming to a close, and the coach and swimmers alike are thinking about the records set and growth shown.

“This has been the most fun season for me to coach of the four years that I have been coaching,” said Brandon Jerrell, swim coach.

The girls team’s performance throughout the season had improved and had its moments, Jerrell said.

Allie Schmidt (10) was the Mid Southern Conference champion of the 50-yard freestyle.

The girls 200-yard freestyle relay team consisting of Megan Hardin (12), Abby Colson (12), Makayla Barger (11) and Allie Schmidt (10) broke a school record at sectional. It was a 12-year-old record, the oldest relay record on the school record board.

“I was incredibly proud of our senior girls; they were consistent throughout the season and made up over half the points we scored at conference,” Jerrell said.

Braiden Collins (11) had the potential to break three different school records either this year or next, Jerrell said. Collins also was the MSC champion of 200-yard freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle.

“Braiden Collins is a beast of a swimmer,” Jerrell said.
