On Feb. 23, the men’s swimming season will officially come to an end with the State meet.
Before then, however, the swimmers will face Ben Davis at home on Tuesday at 6 p.m., the team’s Senior Night, and the team’s performance in that and other subsequent meets, including Sectional and Regional meets in February, will determine its success at State, according to Josh Jordan, varsity swimmer and junior.
Jordan said, “We need to focus harder than ever on all the upcoming meets. The end of the season is already very soon and we’re all very dedicated to giving our all having one of the best seasons this school has ever had.”
Head Coach Chris Plumb said, “The end-of-the-year meet determines how well you did that season. (The end of the year) is extremely important as it is what we continually focus (on) throughout the year.”
In addition to that, Plumb said that the swimmers are much more confident with themselves and what they are doing in the pool. “They know that we drop a tremendous amount of time at the end of the year and they are confident that we will do that having gone through it before with me as their coach,” he said.
Jordan said, “We need to make it back to where we were before, back in the glory days.”
As for the State championship, the season’s last meet, Matt Segar, varsity swimmer and senior, said, “The end of this season will be a culmination of four years of effort and hard work. This year we hope to go further than we have in a really long time.”
