In between, the Warrior men swam several great races and produced several Personal Records. The team of Conely, Littlejohn, Millar, and AJ Blatz advance the third relay team to districts by swimming a season best 1:44.13 in the 200 Free Relay. The Warriors will also be swimming in two individual events at the District Meet as Heath Conely advanced in the 100 Freestyle with a personal best time of 56.28 and Grayson Littlejohn advanced in the 100 Breaststroke with a time of 1:09.91. Coach Wiggershaus was ecstatic as he shared, “with all the illnesses and injuries this team encountered this past week, I am beyond thrilled with our results. I have been calculating, and recalculating relay line ups, right up to the start of the meet, to put the best four on the block should someone not be able to go. I am so proud with how they fought through all the adversity to produce the swims they had today.” These Warrior Men will be swimming Districts at Miami University in Oxford on Friday, February 20th.
