Swim team places at Blue Valley West Invitational

Swim team places at Blue Valley West Invitational

The girls swimming team beat Turner and De Soto High School at the Blue Valley West Invitational on Monday, April 8 placing fifth out of seven teams.

To prepare for the meet the swimmers made sure to get enough sleep over the weekend and listen to their coaches encouragement. The team has succeeded so far this year because they try their hardest.

“We succeed at trying our best by going out there every practice and every meet and doing the best of our ability,” sophomore Michaela Dervin said.

According to Dervin, cheering helped the swimmers succeed.

“My favorite part about the meet was my 100 meter breaststroke because I had people at both ends of the pool cheering me on saying ‘you can do this,’” Dervin said.

The swimmers got to meet many new people and learn each others strengths.

“The thing I like most is getting to know everybody, our abilities and creating that team unity,” Dervin said.

The coaches made the meet unique by telling the swimmers to attempt different races.

“The coaches told us we need to ‘broaden our horizon’ and try new events,” Dervin said. “When one person succeeds, we succeed as a team.”
