The swimming season is almost at an end, as are many of the spring sports. However, the season is still not over, and the team has been working hard and putting in the work in order to make it to regionals. After that, some individuals hope to make it to state this year, which will be held in Carson City.
Coach Ruff is really proud of her team and how hard they’ve been working. She has some high hopes for her swim team.
“The team is doing really well, I’m hoping we finish the season off strong, and one or two of the men’s relays to make it to state and probably two or three individuals,” said Ruff.
Hunter Lewis, a junior on the swim team, shared how he’s been doing this season and how he’s preparing his mind and body for his last couple of meets and regionals.
“I’d say is performing pretty well this season,” said Lewis. “I am improving almost every meet with faster times, I prepare for the meets by practicing almost every day, eating healthy, and staying active and fit, I’m preparing for regionals about the same way I would for a normal meet, I might train a little harder but not too much so I don’t have too much stress on my mind.”
This past weekend, the team headed to Minden to compete against Sage Ridge and North Valleys. Everyone qualified in more events for regionals and or improved their times. Adaya Goldblatt took first in the 200 free, Tara Higley took third, and Mackie Grady took first in the 500. Both relay teams improved their times, and all the boys qualified in more events.
