Final Regular Season Meet vs. Woodbridge

/in /by

Last Saturday we finished the season with our last meet of the season and I am extremely proud to say that both the Boys and Girls teams finished the season undefeated and District Champions. In past years, the District Champions were decided at the District meet, but the team record was used this year with Districts being a cyber meet. Congratulations to you all for a great season and all the hard work you put in. I know we threw a lot of changes at you this year and it wasn’t always easy. You all performed when it was needed and it paid off.

Battlefield Beats Patriot

/in /by

Congratulations to both the men’s and women’s teams on beating Patriot at our 2021 head-to-=head matchup. The final scores (combined swim & dive) are as follows:

Men:
Battlefield – 159, Patriot – 146 (win of 13 points!)

Women:
Battlefield – 189, Patriot – 123 (win of 66 points!)

Overall, the swim team saw 93% BEST TIMES (96% best times for the women, 90% best times for the men) on the season. That’s incredible!

Also, congratulations to Ryan Strotheide for lowering his BHS record in the 100 Back (52.98), Camille Spink for lowering her COUNTY record in the 50 Free (23.11), and the 200 Freestyle Relay team of Sophia Heilen, Lexi Sawwa, Sarah Golsen, and Camille Spink for breaking the COUNTY record in the event (1:37.30). These are amazing accomplishments!

Lastly, special shoutout to Ean Helmlinger for bringing home the win for the men’s swim team last night in his anchor leg of the 400 Free B Relay (with a time of 50.20)! Without that stellar performance the outcome would have been very different, so nice job!

Let’s take this momentum into our last two meets of the season in preparation for the championship season! Go Bobcats!

Last weekend was unbelievable. Both the Boys and Girls teams tallied their highest finishes at Regionals in school history. The boys team finished first at Regionals and our girls team finished second. Dive – Once again we had a strong performance from our divers. Our boys finished 1st, 4th, and 6th place and provided the team with a big advantage going into the swim events. Tatum, Elias and Jacob had strong performances and their best meet collectively. With the top 5 finishers advancing to State, both Tatum and Elias will be the first boy divers to represent Battlefield at States.
