Welcome to the 2014 Swim & Dive season
The season of change
We are off and swimming to another fabulous season of PHS Women’s Swim & Dive. This season is sure to provide additional excitement along with a much higher level of competition due to the increased number of conference teams in 2014. Sturgis, Harper Creek and Marshall have entered the fray bringing our November 7 & 8 conference finals team count to 8. Also on the schedule this season are 2 invitationals, a relay meet and some very strong non-conference teams.
The 2014 season started with PHS traveling to Harper Creek
for a very interesting relay meet. This would be our swimmers/divers first look at this season’s conference competition. Our girls performed well in the pool and on the board by leaving with the win
and more importantly an understanding that this season would be a little different. Work needed
to be done this year if PHS Swim & Dive was to enjoy the success they have
grown accustom to.
Next up was a scrimmage with Kalamazoo Central and trip to
South Haven. Both were good opportunities for our younger team members to get some valuable experience. Coach Dubois also utilizes these early meets
to move girls around some and test them in different events. I am sure he
learned some things about his team while coming away with a well deserved win at Kalamazoo. PHS also took a strong 2nd at South Haven a few days later. They came up short only to the combined division 1 team of Bridgeman,
Stevensville, Niles and Lake Shore. Not bad in my book!
