Conference Meet

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 5^th in the 100 breaststroke and 6^th in the 200 individual medley. His times in both races were personal bests.

In addition to a 5^th place in the (above mentioned) medley relay, Nick Strub, Sam Waddell, Tyler Meinders and Matt Enloe finished 5^th 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. 

One Forty-two point Two Five!

Middleton Relays

Described as the best relay meet in the state, this year's competition was outstanding. Swimming against most of the teams we will see at our Sectional meet, the 200 Medley (1:44.48), 200 Free (1:33.35) and 400 Free (3:29.85) Relays did extremely well.

Craig vs Parker

 Often one of the most important meets of the season, this year was no exception. The boys swam with a lot of heart and won the meet convincingly. This victory marks the 9th consecutive win over our Westside rivals. It also means our seniors went undefeated against Parker in their careers. Congrats.

You're INCREDIBLE!

Winter Weather Policy

Any time there is a snow day all practices and/or meets for that day are cancelled. This includes Fridays. Swimmers are encouraged to find an alternate site to practice on their own. Any day school is held practice will take place as scheduled unless the school or school district cancels practice.  Decisions about Saturday meets or practice cancellations sometimes cannot be made until that morning. 

Thank you for your patience in this matter.

Cougar Relays

This year's Cougar Relays were a huge success, both in the pool and out. A special thanks to all the parents who helped with concessions. The boys had the best team effort I've ever seen at this meet. They really pulled together and as a result of their success, the boys' confidence went way up. The boys achieved a feat that has never happened in the last 10 years: all 15 swimmers medaled!! Highlights were: winning the 200 Free Relay, 200 Medley Relay and 500 Crescendo Relay. Special recognition goes to the following swimmers with PR (personal record) splits: Tyler Meinders, Jacob Canik, Sean Davis, Matt Enloe, Nick Strub, Austin Dostalek and Aaron Bagley.
