The MHS girls swim team had their last meet against Parkway Central on Jan 24. For the last five years, the team has gone undefeated in their meets.

Adjusting her goggles Theresa Santos, freshman, prepares to swim her next relay; meanwhile, Kristen Gollwitzer, senior, waits in anticipation for the incoming swimmer.

While Lauren Berning, senior, prepares to swim a 100-meter back, Abby Bomball, junior, shares the heat sheet of upcoming events with the team. Bomball was unable to participate in this final meet due to a shoulder injury.

Senior Allyson Cochran and sophomore Haley Hume swim side by side. Usually team members are not allowed to swim in adjacent lanes, but coaches can request a “JV heat” where team members can swim just for time and are not recorded for heat.

Sarah Rosson, senior, swims in a 100-meter breast event. Rosson has been on the team for all four years of her high school career.

Diving into the pool, Amanda Yu, junior, begins her 100-meter breast event. She reflected over the various events she swam this meet. “I am happy with how I performed, but right now we are working towards State, which has been the primary focus of the season,” Yu said.

Abigail Nebot, senior, swims a 100-meter breast in her last swim meet of the year. Girls swim and dive will compete on Feb. 14 and Feb. 15 at the St. Peters Rec-Plex. MHS will battle for a championship title against about 40 other teams.
