The Craig Varsity Boys Swim Team had a great Conference meet on Saturday. The swimmers raised their level of competition to meet the challenge and many achieved personal best times.
The meet started off with one of the most anticipated races of the day, the 200 Medley Relay. Nick Hazecamp (back), Alex Loftus (breast), Sam Waddell (fly), and Matt Enloe (free) had been working hard all season to beat a THIRTY-year-old Craig High School record. The Medley relay time from 1979 was 1:42.36. Both swimmers and parents were ecstatic when Matt hit the wall and all eyes looked to the scoreboard. It read 1:42.25! They beat the record by .01 of a second!
Nick Hazecamp took second place in the 100 backstroke with his best time of the season. Alex Loftus took 5th in the 100 breaststroke and 6th in the 200 individual medley. His times in both races were personal bests.
In addition to a 5th place in the (above mentioned) medley relay, Nick Strub, Sam Waddell, Tyler Meinders and Matt Enloe finished 5th in the 200 free relay with a season best 1:32.62. The Craig team also took 5th place in the meet.
Congratulations to the entire Craig Swim Team for a great Conference meet. It was great to see all the blue shirts in the bleachers too! Thanks to all those who came to cheer on the Cougars at Conference! We look forward to seeing you all Saturday, February 14th at Sectionals. Ticket sales start at 10:15. All swimmers are encouraged to ride on the bus together. Report to Craig by 9:00, bus leaves at 9:15.
