They may still be in high school, but twelve members of the Redhawks swim and dive team have their sights set firmly on the University of Texas as they travel to Austin Friday and Saturday, competing in the state meet.
“This is one of the largest groups we’ve had going to state in recent years, so we have the potential to do very well across many events,” head coach Zachariah Gnoza said. “All but one of those going this year will be returning next year, which will allow them to apply their experience from state to next season.”
For sophomore Zoe Schneider, the meet is about more than just the competition.
“As a team we are excited,” Schneider said. “We have been preparing for months in hopes to make it to state so we are very excited and ready to go. This is the biggest group we have had going in years so it will be a lot of fun. We are hoping to make the top 16 coming out of prelims to swim in finals on Saturday.”
