The Whitewater Boys Swim Team had an amazing Season this year. They finished 3 wins and 3 loses in their conference dual meet wins, which is one more than they won last year. The boys had sectionals Saturday, February 10, 2018, at Baraboo High School where every boy went a best time. We had a couple boys finish in the top 8 in their events! Young Liang finished 5th in the 200 IM and won the 100 Breast. Both of these events qualified Liang for the State meet. Liang is seated 2nd in the 100 breast and 9th in his 200 IM.  Our 400 freestyle relay team of Jack Mayer, Devin Bazeley, Jacob Korf, and Liang took 8th at Sectionals with a season-best time! The boys all swam very well, with many boys making it onto the top ten list for Whitewater fastest times. Congratulations to everyone at Sectionals!
