Illinois Senior Champ Wrap Up:

The Sharks headed to the Illinois Senior Championship State Meet held at FMC Natatorium this weekend and swam their hearts out.

We kicked the weekend off with Julia and Lucas swimming best times in their 800 Freestyles. On Friday, we had Caden H, swim a lifetime best 100 fly time, but just miss out on making the final.

Saturday saw all of the guys come and swim their individual events with Caden H, Kaden V and Bryce P all swimming good swims. The day was highlighted by a finals swim (his first ever at a state meet) by Will Smoley in the 50 free, where he finished 25th, and Lucas Kladder who finished 24th in the 400 Free (also his first state final ever).

The day wrapped up with great swims by Lucas and Julia in the 1500 Free with Julia placing 21st!

Great job to all our Senior Sharks!
