Javier Suarez, Staff Reporter The most difficult thing is not to give up and keep going, no matter how hard it is. The boys swim team is working very hard to have a good season. The guys have been swimming long hours after school trying to imitate the flawless strokes of an Olympian. Workouts are more intense, longer, and a new mentality is set to be able to reach their goals.
Coach Jeffery Watson, lifeguard and head coach for boys swimming and girls water polo, motivates the team to push themselves like he did as a student at Dyett High School. He qualified for state for the 100m backstroke in 2008. Coach Jeff’s motto is ”Don’t let anyone out work you; our biggest enemy is ourselves, the man in the mirror.” With Jeff’s motto the team is motivated to win conference and be eligible for state championships. On January 9, 2016, the boys had City Relays at Julian High School. After swimming for the gold, the boys placed 20th out of 39 schools. It was a big achievement for the team because they usually place last or second to last. Overall, the team’s record is 4-4 and placed 5th in conference at Solorio High School on January 30, 2016. Although they are proud of their achievements, they’re never satisfied with their work.
