Middle School Swim team defeats Kings

From the MS Swim Team:

Congratulations to all Wyoming Swimmers for their strong swimming performances at our home dual meet against Kings Jr. High.  Final Score - Wyoming 178 Kings 85.

To start the meet the team again displayed tremendous team spirit with the W-y-o-m-i-n-g team cheer then went on to capture 1st and 2nd place in the 200 yd. medley relay event.  Throughout the swim meet all swimmers performed exceptionally well in their respective events. 
 
They all  have shown a marked improvement in their stroke technique resulting in faster swim times. Since the start of the season, all swimmers have made substantial progress and best of all, they seem to enjoy the swim competition and the team spirit.

Boys' basketball loses to Lockland in double OT

Great basketball game last night, although unfortunately the guys couldn't quite pull it out.

The game went two overtimes before Lockland prevailed 59-47.  (The final margin is as big as it is because we were forced to foul toward the end and they were hitting their free throws.)

Ben Kurtz led the Cowboys with 16 points.  Ahmad Frost was also in double figures with 12.

Rounding out the scoring were Adam Crider with eight, Richie Irwin with seven, and Griffin O'Gara and Aquil Frost with two each.

Next up: next Wednesday vs. Jefferson at the Northridge Holiday Tourney.

Middle School Swim & Dive team update from Coach Dave

The Wyoming Middle School Swim & Dive team is off to a great start with three wins ( vs. Norwood, Mason and Cincinnati Country Day).

The highlight of these three meets was the 144 – 139 win at Mason on December 5. As you would expect, the Mason team is about twice as big as Wyoming. But our squad came from behind to outscore Mason in the second half of the meet, securing the team victory with a win in the meets final event - the 200 Free Relay.

The CCD meet followed on December 8 with a very strong 203 – 50 showing by the Cowfish.

Next up on the schedule: Kings Middle School December 17 3:30PM at the PCY.

Middle School Swimming & Diving is one team comprised of 7th and 8th grade boys and girls. This year’s team is a nice mix of year-round club swimmers (Marlins and PCY), summer club swimmers (Sea Dragons and Swordfish), as well as some first time swimmers.

Note to all current 6th & 7th graders who may be interested in swimming on the Middle School team next year: No experience necessary! Try one of the summer teams in 2012 (Sea Dragons or Swordfish) and if you like it, come out for your school team next year.
