Osky Girls Swim Enjoy Win
by Makenzie Kauffman
In a thrilling showing tonight, the Osky Girls Swimmers won BOTH of their duals in the pool versus Fairfield and Keokuk tonight by impressive margins (attached at the bottom). It was a fast meet, but our Indians showed a lot of grit competing in events within just minutes of their last races, competing in four events each within the hour and a half long meet. Most importantly, our team was the loudest and most encouraging in the pool, and our swimmers had a lot of fun competing in their final regular season meet of the 2021 season.
Grace Moore led our squad tonight earning 4 varsity wins in her 4 varsity events! There was only one event where Osky did not have at least one swimmer in the top three.
