Key Newcomers:
Girls – too early to tell, but a reasonably solid Freshman class with Jenna, Kyra, and Ryann Giedl plus Emma Sargent. All girls are capable to swim anything. Team numbers greatly improved.
Boys – numbers improved with many newcomers. Solid Freshman class, but has little competitive experience. Team is solid with returnees, hope to duplicate last years performances
2022 Outlook:
Girls – over 1/2 team is new with some additions with minimal experience. Numbers have greatly improved, reflecting numbers of years pre-covid. May take some time to discover specific strengths due to flexibility of swimmers and only 13 meets.
Boys – no graduates allows team to bring back experience and strength. Numbers have improved and should make a difference in close meets
