OHS Boys Swimming District Results

by Rachel Brown

The Oskaloosa Boys Swim Team competed in their final meet of the season this past Saturday at Linn Mar in Cedar Rapids. This is what the boys have been working towards all season and their hard work definitely showed in how they swam and competed. I saw a lot of the boys go out there and really compete and finish hard, which is something we have been working on all season. Although we will not be sending anyone on to state this week, all of these boys should be proud of what they were able to accomplish. I would like to give a special shout out to “Coach Briggs” who was not able to compete due to an injury. He still played a very important role in our team and was there Saturday coaching, cheering, and encouraging all of the boys to work hard and swim fast. I am so proud of this team that has really become a family over this past season!
