| ADDI: | Lots to talk about from over the weekend as both wrestling and swim wrapped up their season so lets get into it.
The wrestling team was in action at their sectional tournament at Lebanon HIgh School this past Saturday. It was a tough tournament, but THS wrestler Will Tanner came away with a sixth place finish. That’s a wrap on the wrestling for this year–nice work this season, wrestlers. This past weekend both Anna Gregg and Abbie Curry competed at the Ohio High School State Swim Championships. Both represented Talawanda well as Anna finished 30th in the 200 Yard Freestyle and 31st in the 100 Yard Butterfly, while Abbie finished 12th in the 50 Yard Freestyle and 16th in the 100 Yard Breaststroke. An extra special congratulations to Abbie as she broke a 15 year old school record in the 100 Yard Breaststroke at the state meet, this is her 2nd school record of the year. This meet officially wrapped up the high school swim & dive season. Congrats to all the swimmers and divers on another outstanding year. And a final reminder to all swimmers, the banquet will be Saturday, March 9th at 6 PM in the high school cafeteria. Also this weekend we had three people qualify for the indoor track and field state meet. Adriana Luking qualified in the 1600 run, Olivia Andrews qualified in pole vault, and Lucia Rodbro qualified in the 3200 run also qualifying for New Balance Nationals in Boston. The state meet will take place Friday March 1st at the Spire Institute, good luck to each of you. That’s all for sports today |
