The Union County Swimming Cougars showed up ready to swim at the State Swim Meet this weekend and represented well! 🏊‍♂️

The athletes, along with Coach Katie and Coach Riley, put in a very long day on Saturday in a hot, crowded natatorium and swam better than we could have hoped for!

Congratulations to Shalena who won gold 🥇 in the 25 meter backstroke and James who won gold🥇 in the 25 meter freestyle! Paige won silver in the 25 meter backstroke!

Dakota was the lone distance swimmer to swim on Sunday and earned 5th place in the 100 meter freestyle in a very fast event. We can’t wait to see the growth from all the swimmers next season!

Way to go, Cougars! 💜🖤
