HH Girls Varsity Swim Team Strives for a 4th Win

Funded Nov 30, 2016

On behalf of the Horseheads Lady Raiders Swim Team, I would like to thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts for your generosity. Although we came up just short of our fourth consecutive championship, historically it was our greatest season ever. The girls won 5 of the 12 individual events, set 7 of 12 new school records, sent two relays and two individual swimmers to NY State Championships, had the 400 Free Relay finish 9th overall in the state, and as a team finished 8th in NY State Class A.

One of our seniors who received a suit based on your donations, won her first individual event at our Section IV Class A Championship and is still beaming. She had always seemed to fall just short of winning in her previous four years (she started swimming varsity as an 8th grader), she became a whole new swimmer when she put that suit on. To see her pull away from the top seeded girl on the final lap had me welling up with tears just knowing all of the hard work she had put in over her career. Thank you doesn't seem to be enough, but we will never forget this season...”

With gratitude,

Mr. Miles
