Hawks Swimming Headed to States

Both the boys and girls varsity swim teams are well into the mix at the State Swim Meet, scheduled for February 22 and 23 at Canton McKinley High School in Canton. 
While we can’t predict the outcomes, one thing is guaranteed: it will be a very exciting meet.  
 
The boys have qualified 10 swimmers, the girls 12 swimmers. The girls team seeks to extend their Ohio, all-sport record of 18 consecutive State Championships; they are the favorite to make it 19, and 27th in program history. Senior Crile Hart, the defending D-II State Meet MVP, has a chance to be the first swimmer in State Meet history to win the 200IM four times. The boys are coming off their first District Title since 1989, the last year they won a State Championship. The boys are among the favorites this year, with a real chance to get back to the top of the podium.  
 
The finals are Friday at 5:00pm. We are sponsoring a fan bus for Upper School students, leaving Gates Mills on Friday at 3:00pm. There is no fee for the fan bus, but students will be required to buy their own ticket to get into the meet. Tickets are $8.00. Sign-ups are required to reserve a seat on the bus. Students may sign-up at Mrs. Gilbert's desk in Stirn Hall up until 10:00am on Friday. The bus should return to Gates Mills around 9:00pm.  
 
It is possible that the State Meet will sell out. Seating is limited, and while the OHSAA publishes that walk-ups are not available, they usually release tickets for walk-ups on meet day if they do not sell out. If the meet sells out, we will send another notice. If not, we encourage all fans to make the trip to Canton on Friday.  
 
Go Hawks!
