CST Finishes 3rd at Districts

Cullman Swim Team hosted districts this year at the CWAC and it was a fast and furious three days. Diving began on Thursday with several divers taking first places including Laura Evans who will lead them on to State at Auburn. Hopefully she can bring some spirit to the divers where earlier this year she placed in the Alabama State High School Meet.

Cullman swimmers continued time drops over Friday and Saturday which produced some wins and some heartbreaks. Because of the size of our district and the level of competition sometimes it appears that our district championships are tougher than the actual state swim meet.

Some of the highlights would have to be the 9-10 boys and girls. In every event CST had someone in the hunt for a top place, this really shows the future of the team. This age group will be well represented at state in both relays and individual events. Neil Norris led all with a first place finish in the 100 Freestyle. The incredible girls medley relay of Anna Evans, Sara Peel, Adora Ralph and Jillian Richard also won first.

13-14 boys ruled with first places in both relays and three firsts in individual events. The combination of Chris McAlpine, Lane Donaldson, Seth Donaldson, Chaz Brouillette, Zack Kane and Bennett Glasscock produced gold. Bennett won all three of his individual events in record time.

With state in two weeks the swimmers will have to stay focused on the upcoming meet and work hard. CST will be well represented.
