Boy's Swimming Look to Make a Splash this Season

-By: Dan Campbell-

The boys’ swimming and diving finished 7-3 last year, also coming third in their class of 22. Their season runs from the end of November through mid-March, with 10 regular season meets followed by championship meets. The team’s main events are the 50, 200, and 500 yard freestyle, as well as the 100 yard back and breaststrokes. Competitors in these events include sophomore Tyler Gould, junior Chris Weihs, junior Jake Greene, senior captain William Plunkett, and senior captain Wesley Dean, respectively. According to coach Matt Czaplicki, Gould “may emerge as a top sprinter in the state.”
The coach is also excited about the incoming freshmen. “We have an awesome new class coming in this year” Mr Czaplicki said, “They are able and ready to prove it.” Plunkett mentioned James Baker as one of the top freshmen. Mr Czaplicki is hoping for a top 10 state finish and Plunkett wants to go 8-2, a one win improvement on last year.
