The swim team boasts 22
team members this season,
and the majority of the squad
is brand-new to the sport.
The Outlaws swimmers
already have a couple of
meets under their belts and
several hope to make their
mark this year.
Mary Stewart has the
potential to set a new 100-
yard freestyle record this sea-
son, and Shawn Horton could
break the 500-yard freestyle
record.
Two freshmen girls,
Hawley Harrer and Anna
Bartlett, have already made
a huge impact on the team.
Both girls have already com-
peted on the girls varsity
relay and have placed in their
individual events. Bartlett
will focus on the 500-yard
freestyle, while Harrer will
focus on the 50- and the 100-
yard freestyle.
Noah Huber has already
made tremendous progress,
has had incredible drops in
time, and will put forth his
efforts in the 100-yard butter-
fly. Seniors Emily Christen
and Jonathan Luz are also
swimmers to watch this
season.
Congratulations to
Duck Football and
the UofO in the 1st
National Championship.
