Swimcats finish third at GSU event
On Oct. 16 GCSU’s Swim Cats team competed against three other schools in a swim competition. At the meet, the girls club swim team placed third, the boys placed fourth and overall the Swim Cats placed third.
“The meet went great. I was very happy to see that everyone competed really well thanks to our practice and preparations the week before,” said Taylor Hayes, president of the club swim team. “I was especially glad to see some of our new freshmen really enjoying themselves at our first away meet. I hope that we continue to swim hard at the next away meet at Elon University for the Fall Club Swimming Championships.”
The Swim Cats competed against Georgia Southern, Georgia State and Kennesaw State at the meet. At a previous home meet, the Swim Cats won against Georgia Southern and Georgia State.
The practice information and contacts can be found on their Facebook group named “Swim Cats Swim Club.” The Facebook page is the main form of communication between the executive board and the rest of the club.
“Anyone is welcome to join, just come to a meeting. They are held every Tuesday at 9 p.m. in the Centennial Center,” said Andrea Sission, Swim Cats member.
The next meet that the Swim Cats have scheduled will be in North Carolina at Elon University for the Fall Club Swimming Championships on Nov. 6.
