Red Devil Swimmers take 2nd at Region

Submitted by sarah.ferrin on

RED DEVILS swimmers had an amazing Region meet with countless great swims despite some recent illnesses and injuries affecting taper for several swimmers.  What a fun, incredible weekend to watch some fast swimming.

With only 21 girls entered in the meet, they still earned 3rd place and only 18 points away from 2nd place which is pretty small margin of points.  The boys team took second place with 27 swimmers.  Overall, our combined SHS team score earned us 2nd place!!! 

Congrats Lizzie Lowe!
