Senior Night, for the swim team, is on the last home meet of the year. This year they competed against Lakota East and West. It is a night dedicated to honoring those who will be graduating.
At the beginning of the meet they hold a ceremony where they announce each of the individual senior’s experiences on the team and what they plan for the future.
“It was a really special night and I’m really glad that we were able to have it,” said Jordan Elder, 12.
The seniors got to choose what events they wanted to swim for the night. There was also a 200 free senior relay which consisted only of seniors.
The varsity swim team graduated five seniors, the swimmers who are graduating are:
- Jordan Elder
- Max Cappell
- Kurt Heltman
- Grant Girten
- Benjamin Hammer
“It’s going to be really weird not having them on the team next year, a lot of people are going to have to step up and be leaders,” said Jory Gould, 10.
With not having school on Tuesday, Jan. 28, Senior Night, there was an issue as to whether or not the meet would be on.
“I am really glad that we were able to have the meet because it was really great,” said Elder.
The meet was a chance for the seniors to have fun at their last competition in the SHS pool.
