The Mount Gilead summer swim team participated in three more meets since the last Sentinel came out. The team traveled to Tiffin to face the newest member of the TriCounty Aquatic League.
“Tiffin’s team was fairly small, so MG did win the meet. They had some fast swimmers, though, which made for some exciting races, ” according to coach Dina Snow.

The team continued its winning streak with their victory over Bucyrus.
“That meet was a lot closer because they have a crop of girls that are just phenomenal. That group scored a lot of unanswered points in the tougher IM and longer freestyle races. We have a larger boys team, however, and their efforts sealed the deal,” said Snow. “It was a crazy meet, though, because a storm was predicted and the meet was being pushed along so fast that kids were called for their next events while they were still in the water!”
