Fishburne Swimming vs Hargrave Aquatics
11/12/09
11/13/09
Last night was our first swim meet, which was a scrimmage against Hargrave. Hargrave is one of the top swim teams in the state so this was a tough mental battle from the beginning. We also had fewer swimmers than we were expecting, so this put an extra burden on each of the swimmers who attended. With only 8 swimmers each swimmer had to swim difficult events that weren't necessarily what they would have wanted to swim. However they stepped up and swam their best despite all the mental pressure. Connor Smith swam the two most difficult events the 200 IM and the 500 free. He really rose to the occasion. Jason Montgomery dropped 8 seconds off his 100 fly time which is very impressive. Max Foetsch and Anthony Barton really gave their all in their first swim meet.
