The Oskaloosa Boys Swim Team traveled to Burlington last night to compete in a triangular against Burlington and Keokuk. The boys ended up taking the win with a score of Oskaloosa 137 Burlington 134 and Keokuk 77!

This year our team is made up of 6 returning swimmers and 6 new to the sport swimmers. Last night all 12 of the boys had an amazing meet. I was blown away with how well we did and it has me very excited to see where the season is going to take us.
