Boys’ Swimming/Diving Preview

Fall is around the corner, and that means the boys’ swimming and dive team is back. 2015’s team is looking to improve on last year’s fifth place finish in conference, and having two swimmers qualify for state. This year’s team will be led by coaches Jeremy Nichols, Sara Gerth, and Lynn McCain.

This year’s varsity team will return some key leaders, and one very important leader is senior Kurt Weatherford. He said he is extremely excited to be back this fall, and has already set some goals for himself and the team.

“Personally, I would love to qualify for state again in the 50 free and 100 breast, and then improve on my finishes. I would also like to see team improve on our conference finish, and increase the number of conference finalists we have,” said Weatherford.

According to Weatherford, the team has also set some goals for the year.

“Our team’s goal for the year is to increase our depth. We don’t want our fastest swimmers to get faster, we want our times to improve as a whole. This way, we can not only compete for first, but second and third also.
Key Returners: Kurt Weatherford, Patrick Storey, and Mason Epperly
