The boys swimming and diving team was just in grasp of a win against Greenwood, where they competed on Wednesday, Jan. 13. But the team came up just short with a score of 86 to Greenwood’s 99. Seniors James Sweeney and Kyle Kibby had a great showing in diving competition, finishing first and second respectively. Kibby was less than a point behind Sweeney. Although the swimmers didn’t win, head coach John Kirtland is proud of how the boys are doing.
“Our boys are beginning to show signs of life,” Kirtland wrote in an email to the Southport News Bureau. “Jake Canter, Jake Houschin, Ryan Clark and David Dart stepped up in big ways.”
The boys will be back in the pool on Thursday, January 15th, against rival Perry Meridian.
