Freshman Theresa Garono and senior Andrew Riser will represent Liberty High School at state. These two with their outstanding efforts and dedication have swam their way to the top while representing our school well. Now, let’s hear from some of our team and their inputs on how this swim season went and their future plans. Senior, Andrew Riser says “From my personal experience, the season went as good as it could have gone. With covid near its becoming during the prime of our season, we were forced to shut down our pool for distancing regulations. Missing a month of practice is crucial in swimming, as the races come down the
100ths of a second. I put the work in that I could, and made the most out of it, finishing 50th at state with both of my trapezius muscles pulled. My future plan is entering the marines for government intelligence, and later
becoming a cargo pilot.” Congratulations and good luck with your future! Junior, Emily Benson says “I thought it went good because we all made it to Districts. Both of our relays made it to Districts.”
In conclusion, overall this swim season went very well for all those involved even though Covid-19 had other plans. They persevered and made sure that they had the best swim season they could, again Congratulations guys. Go Leopards!
