The Gators Are Fierce At FRST Holiday Season Slam

The temperatures are dropping and so are times in the pool! The Gators lit up the Franklin pool at the FRST Holiday Season Slam with many high finishes, time drops, and new championship time standards. Highlights from the meet are below. The Greenwood HS Woodmen boys and girls teams joined in with many phenomenal performances at the Johnson Country Championship swim meet at Center Grove. Even mid season, there were many lifetime best swims which are much harder to come by at the high school level. Congrats to the boys for a 3^rd place finish and the girls for a 4^th place finish!
