Broughton swimmers are already hard at work as the 2016-2017 season starts up.

  “The season is going pretty good, it’s kind of tiring in the mornings but it’s fun. We stretch and then we get in the pool at 5:40 a.m and then swim for an hour and then get out, take a shower, and go to school,” Freshman John Michael Curtis said.

  Their first meet was on November 15th, gaining a 2nd place rank among competitors Enloe, Holly Springs, and Heritage High School.

  For the women’s 50 yard freestyle, Genna Brewer led the team to first rank in the A final with 9 points and a time of 25.39 seconds. In the 500 yard freestyle, Stella Kempf led the team with 9 points and a time of 5 minutes, 28.53 seconds. In the 200 yard individual medley, Maria Baric led the team in the A final with 9 points and a time of 1 minute, 1.80 seconds.
