Congratulations to the girls swim team for winning their third straight CS 8 title this weekend at Eisenhower Pool. The Senators kicked off the meet in grand style winning the 200 Medley relay and shattering the conference record, congrats to Libby Opfer, Alex Carney, Megan Wilkey and Natalie Knox for the record. The girls also broke the CS 8 record in the 200 Freestyle Relay congratulations to Alex and Annah Carney, Megan Wilkey and Madison Milling for the record. The Senators weren't satisfied with just breaking relays records! Congratulations to Annah Carney for breaking two CS 8 records. She handily broke the record in the 200-freestyle as well as breaking her own record in the 100-freestyle. Natalie Knox broke the CS 8 record in the 100 Fly and Madison Milling was the conference champion in the 500-freestyle. It was a fantastic day for the Senators with at least two swimmers finishing in the top 6 in every swimming event. Shout out to Ms. Guerro for coming to cheer the girls on!!!
