![]() Javier Suarez, Staff Reporter Swimming is one of the hardest sports to compete in because you use your entire body. The girls swim team had a rough season this year. They haven’t won a meet but that didn’t stop them from swimming; it made them work even harder than the previous years. Veronica Zuniga (Div. 712) has been in the team since freshman year and is currently captain of the swim team. “I like going to the meets because I get to meet other swimmers and support the girls,” said Veronica. Co-Captain, Janet Uribe, (Div 704) said the best part of being on the team is “building strong connections with the girls.” She has been on the team since sophomore year and hoped to “make it to state and break 30 seconds on a 50 freestyle.” On October 24th, the team placed 20th out of 30 schools in the City Relay at Percy L. Julian High School Their final meet was on Oct 31 where the girls faced Curie, Kennedy, Juarez, Solorio, and Kelly to compete for conference. The girls placed 5th place and the conference title went to Kennedy. Veronica felt that she accomplished her goal of “helping the girls in swimming and showing them the correct way to swim.” “We haven’t won a meet but tried our best,” said Janet. Comments are closed.
