Part of the Varsity Swim team traveled to Waycross last Thursday for the Last Chance Invitational. We competed against Tiftarea, Ware County, Fitzgerald, Valwood, Pierce County, and Wayne County High Schools. This was the last meet before the State Meet this weekend.
JJ Briggs and Ashley Prokop both competed in new events this meet and both qualified for State in those events. JJ got 4th in the 200 Freestyle and Ashley 2nd in the 200 IM. JJ also placed 5th in the 50 Free, and Ashley placed 2nd in the 100 Backstroke, with both swimmers dropping times in their respective events. Holly Lewis swam the 50 Free and 100 Free. She did an amazing job dropping over 2 seconds in the 50 and almost 4 seconds in the 100. Those are very impressive drops in time.
This Saturday, we have 12 swimmers traveling to Atlanta for the GISA State Meet held at Georgia Tech. Please wish JJ Briggs, Katie Eckert, Andrew Kaminer, Holly Lewis, Cammie Pope, Ashley Prokop, Chandler Sitz, Gillian Sullivan, Spencer Sullivan, Jimmy McQuade, Lea Maye Smith, and Emily Wyrick luck if you see them in school this week.
Go Knights!
