Boys swimming
Indians finish season on a strong note
CEDAR RAPIDS — The Oskaloosa boys swimming team competed in the district meet in Cedar Rapids on Saturday where they swam for a spot at this week’s state meet. The Indians would record a lot of personal best times but would come up short of any qualifiers for state.
“This is what the boys have been working towards all season and their hard work definitely showed in how they swam and competed,” Oskaloosa head coach Rachel Brown said. “I saw a lot of the boys go out there and really compete and finish hard, which is something we have been working on all season. Although we will not be sending anyone on to state this week, all of these boys should be proud of what they were able to accomplish.”
The Indians had 10 personal best individual swims while their 200 medley and 200 free relays would both take seventh and their 400 free relay would take eighth.
Oskaloosa will lose five seniors seniors in Landon Briggs, Andrew Hols, Keygan Roberts, Aaron Scholes and Aaron Wilson.
“I would like to give a special shout out to ‘Coach Briggs’ who was not able to compete due to an injury. He still played a very important role in our team and was there Saturday coaching, cheering, and encouraging all of the boys to work hard and swim fast. I am so proud of this team that has really become a family over this past season.”
