Our girls swim team celebrated its four seniors during its meet against Bishop Hartley on Thursday, January 15, and traveled to Canton to compete at the annual Northeast Classic meet on Saturday, January 17. 

On Thursday, January 17, Academy honored Nousha A., Maddie E., Aubree M., and Rachel S. during a home meet against the Silver Knights. A 7-year swimmer, Nousha’s favorite event is the 50 free. Maddie tallied a decade in her career, with the 100 free as her preference. Aubree has represented our Diving Team throughout high school.  Rachel helps run home meets at the official’s table. Thank you, seniors, for your contributions to the team.

The girls traveled to C.T. Branin Natatorium in Canton for the Annual Northeast Classic meet on Saturday, January 17. Neither of the relays qualified for finals in the preliminary rounds that morning, as the 200 medley and 200 free relays placed 20th and 21st, respectively. Maddie was the only swimmer to qualify for finals, placing 22nd in the 100 breast with a 1:09.96 and 11th in the 100 free with a 53.74. 

Following its last home meet of the season during its Senior Night, the team now heads into its postseason, competing in the Central Buckeye League championship meet on Saturday, January 24.
