“At the state meet we moved up nine places and posted our lifetime best splits. The boys worked hard and dropped over 6 seconds during the last three weeks of the season to accomplish this remarkable achievement,” Coach Powell explained.

Ramsey also qualified individually in the 50 and 100 Freestyle. Three years ago, as a freshman, he received All State Honorable Mention. This was the team’s 23rd trip to the state meet in as many years.
