The girls swim team will face many of its rivals at the end of season Southeastern Conference meet Nov. 14.

This team of girls have had a pretty good season so far with 2-1 dual meets, two won, one lost, according to Coach Doug Schade,

“So far we’re doing pretty well,” said Schade.

With the season half over, the girls are preparing for the SEC meet, which will also be their last meet. The meet is an end-of-the-season meet and is one of the biggest meets aside from states where they will be facing several teams.

SEC is a meet in which several other teams come, and they all race against each other whereas in dual meets they swim against one other team. The girls will be swimming against about seven or eight teams, many of them the team’s rivals.

The rest of the season is looking pretty good for the girls. According to Schade, all of the girls have made some kind of time improvement from the beginning of the season to now. They have many meets to come before SEC, and they all have a chance to qualify for states, but in order to do that you have to meet the state qualification times.

Makenzie Brown  said the state qualification times, and district ones, are ridiculous.

“The time standards are ridiculously fast,” said Brown.

State meets are the best-of-the-best of swimmers, and they all come together and have a tournament based on each school’s state team. State qualifications are hard to reach and it takes a really dedicated swimmer to make the time cuts.
