Falcons Fly into the Pool<br />
Falcon swimming had a great inaugural<br />
season. The squad hit the regional meet<br />
on Jan. 24 and swam away with 6th<br />
place in Division I South. The 200 Medley<br />
Relay team took 4th in the division,<br />
earning them a trip to the State meet on<br />
Feb. 6 and 7 in San Antonio.<br />
Every team member at the meet<br />
showed marked improvement over<br />
their times from the previous week’s<br />
HAPP invitational. Some swimmers<br />
shaved as much as 6 seconds.<br />
With one of the smallest teams in<br />
our division, the Lady Falcons managed<br />
to turn heads and gain the attention of<br />
many of the established teams in our<br />
division. As Coach Bryant reminds the<br />
girls, every time they get in the pool,<br />
they are creating the foundation for IWA State swimmers include:<br />
swimming. The team has established<br />
a set of school records that will inspire<br />
future swimmers to do their very best!<br />
