The Big Sandy swim team went to Hamilton this last week, where they swam in an outdoor pool in sunny weather with temperatures in the high 80’s. There were only 5 teams at this swim meet including Big Sandy, but even though there were only 5 teams there were over 100 swimmers. The teams that were there are: Bitterroot, Choteau, Columbia Falls, and Conrad.
The team did a great job with swimmers dropping big numbers from last week. Just a reminder that the times you see are always compared to their preliminary time at that current meet.
