The Cougars competed at the Middleton Sectional to try to acheive PR's and to qualify for the State meet. The meet started off great when the 200 Medley Relay swam a season best 1:42.39 and came in 5th place. Alex Loftus then broke his school record from last year (1:59.19) by placing second with a new record of 1:58.33.

Jimmy Loftus placed 10th in the 500 Free and Nick Krueger also finished 10th in the 100 Backstroke. Alex Loftus broke the oldest swim record at Craig by winning the 100 Breaststroke in 59.23 seconds, breaking Jai Khanna's record of 1:00.06 set in 1986. Alex becomes the first high schooler from Janesville to break a minute in the 100 Breast. The 400 Free Relay team finished out the day by dropping 7 seconds off their seed time, swimming a 3:24.68 and finishing in 5th place.
