Sunflower League Snacks

Sunflower league is here!  We want to make sure our Raider swimmers have all of the fuel they need to swim their best, and these meets can run long.  Please sign up to provide a snack basket filled with pre-packaged goodies for the boys.   We ask that you fill a basket/cooler with individually packaged items such as granola bars, apples, popcorn, chips, bananas etc.  Cooler can be dropped off with the team in the stands at SMSDAC, or sent with your swimmer.  Contact us if you need additional arrangements for delivery, we are happy to help!

SMSD Invite Results 1-22-22

The Raiders showed a lot of grit and grind in the pool this weekend at the SMSD Varsity Invitational, putting up some of their career and season best times. Leading the way was Grady O’Connor taking first in the 100 free and 2nd in the 200 free.  Ryan Owens clinched a consideration time in the 100 fly. The 200 and 400 relays consisting of O’Connor, Guthrie, Owens, Glennon, and Barreca had season best times and the 200 medley of Hopkins, Beach, Mayabb, and Owens earned state consideration. Our tiny but mighty team took 9th overall in a large and tough field of competition. The guys are back in the water tomorrow for their final dual against the SM North Bison.
