Over break the Brave Swim and Dive teams hosted the Brave Invitational.  14 teams attended the meet and both the girls and the boys did quite well.  The girls finished in third falling to just Mason and Springboro and the boys finished in 4th falling to Mason, Fenwick, and Badin.  The meet was highlighted for the girls by Mercy Patterson winning the 50 Free and her sister Maren Patterson winning the 100 Free.  On the boys side the highlight was the 200 Free Relay team of Alex Carlson, Zeke Groom, Daniel Mullally, and Noah Femiani finishing in first place.  The Brave resume their meet schedule tomorrow night with a home meet at the Miami Rec Center.  The girls will be swimming Harrison & Butler, while the boys will just be taking on Harrison.  Action begins at 6 PM.  Come out and support your Brave swimmers and divers!
