The district swim meets will take place this Saturday where Talawanda will be looking to qualify some relays and individuals to the state meet next week in Canton. And please make sure you go to cincinnati.com/sports/ and then navigate to the high school sports page so that you can vote for Alex Carlson for the Division 1 Swimmer of the Week.
The academic challenge team suffered their first 2 losses of the year in their final regular season matches with Harrison, the team finished with a record of 6-2 on the season and will have a couple weeks off before heading to Harrison once again for the SWOC tournament.
Lots of playoff action over this long weekend, good luck to the Swim team at districts, good luck to wrestling at the SWOC championship, and best of luck to the basketball and hockey teams who will have first round playoff games, the hockey team will face Gahanna Lincoln tomorrow night and the basketball team will face Walnut Hills on Saturday.
And that’s our broadcast on this day, I’m Luke West Poley, thanks so much for watching, have a great long weekend.
