Mike Vukovcan The Hopewell HS swim team had one more match before the Christmas break takes place as the Vikings took on Keystone Oaks.
In terms of team results, the boys won and the girls lost. However, the Coach Lopez’s team was without 4 of their girls’ swimmers. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to see what the girls’ team can truly do as have yet to have a full squad for any of the meets this season. A positive of that is that it’s giving swimmers on the team experience and the opportunity to step up.
In terms of individual achievements, congrats to Hazel McCowin (200 Free) and Joey Gregory (200 and 100 Free) for making the WPIAL tournament cut. Also, Tyler Oliver made the MAC Tournament cut in the 50 Free.
