High School

The High School Swim team had a first-of-its-kind Long Course meet on Tuesday, December 29th at PCy along with Moeller, Mt. Notre Dame, McCauley, Cincinnati Christian, Winton Woods, and Finneytown.  (Long Course swimming means that a single lap from edge to edge is 50 meters instead of 25 meters.)  I don't have any win/loss or point data to include and they may not have even been calculated since long course events and times aren't the same as the standard short course events and times.  Times and points aside, the Cowboys did come away with some event winners.

Carson Burt - 200m Free
Grayce Akers - 200m IM
Connor Williams - 100m Free
Anne Criddle - 400m Free
