“In my opinion, this is the first major meet that everyone anticipates before the postseason truly kicks off with conference competitions and then sectionals and so on. This is somewhat the initial occasion we’re all gathering in one venue. It certainly has a significant competitive vibe and I believe that was evidently mirrored in some of the attitudes observed. There was a great deal of positive energy each year, and among other teams, some speedy swimmers were present. Overall, it created a really pleasant atmosphere and again, it serves as a precursor to what’s coming with conferences and sectionals. Everyone seems to look forward to the gathering and I think this meet was quite successful overall.” -Nick Ecsy, Head Coach of Highland Boys and Girls Swimming.

“Coming out of the Christmas break and training post-holiday; I feel we all performed quite well. It was a challenging meet, as we faced very strong competition. Our performances were commendable considering our practice and preparation.” -Sienna Janes – Portage “Upon my arrival at the pool, I found it to be a really nice facility. I was very impressed and had a fantastic first impression of it. I understand that it’s (Highland) recognized as a very swift pool, so I felt quite confident coming in. Before my races, I believe having a positive mindset is crucial, so that’s the approach I took, and I swim my best when I give my all. I genuinely enjoyed the school, and I extend my heartfelt thanks (Highland HS) for hosting me!” -Sophia Himden – Crown Point
