A couple potential other swimmers who could add a spark include Seniors Henry Hartshorn and Jack Wittenauer. Despite not making it so State last year, the senior duo has a chip on their shoulder to finish off their swimming careers on a high note.

Making a state appearance would mean so much to me in my final season, commented Hartshorn, I think we have a really good group of hard-working guys who could make something happen this year.

While repeating last years success will be quite difficult, there is still plenty of talent across all age levels that could get this Boys Swim Team back to the State Championships.
