Cullman 295-Florence 259

CST pulled off another great meet beating FAST Tuesday night at the CWAC. Although many Cullman swimmers did not put in best times they scored first places. Both teams had swimmers on vacation and trips etc, the meet was very evenly matched. The turning point was the butterfly stroke with CST winning many first places.

One of those butterflyers was Eric Pilcher, also swimming several other outstanding races. Depth of the team played another key role in the victory. CST will face FAST again at the TVC Championships later this month. Last year the margin of victory was 10 points coming down to the very last relay.

The meet also served as the now annual CST Alumni night with many former swimmers, coaches and parents attending the meet. The picture above is the "Famous" Ginger Holt's father, Dodd who actually coached the team one summer. Shown with him is Jeanette Buettner who's daughters Carol and Debbie were great swimmers.

At the conclusion of the meet, lead in by the Olympic theme the Cullman parents were challenged by the Florence parents to a friendly relay. Wes Warren, Bo Shirey, Jay Page and John Hilb finished the meet just like the age group swimmers!
