Despite a season checkered by difficult scheduling and little swim time, the MBA microbe swim team beat its 8th seed and earned 5th place in the Middle School Swim Championship at the Ensworth natatorium Saturday, February 2nd. We congratulate Will Nahley on his 1st place diving performance, and the 200 free relay team of Ford Ray, Ruff Maddux, Colin Snell, and Miller Freeman for snagging the gold as well. With a new pool arrangement in the works for next year, and a stellar varsity team for those entering the high school, all is looking up for the Microbe swim team next year. Thanks for putting in a dedicated effort, gentlemen. Full results:
